    Found Out I Have...

    a severe case of this condition. I don't know exactly when it started, or how it started, it just happened. Many of you may know you have this, and of those many know how they got it. I may have passed this on to someone else, and I think its possible that those that have been around me could very likely have a strain of it.

    I remember as a young kid periods when it took hold, and then at times it went away as fast as it came. As an adult, the condition isn't a continuous one, it kind of comes and goes. But, an advantage of knowing that you have this condition, makes it easier to diagnose others that don't complain about the symptoms.

    You're all so smart here on this forum, so you probably won't have to look it up. It's called Eudemonia. Anyone else here afflicted?

      I've had my eudemonia treated with something called: work. It comes in several varieties: yard, boring, tedious, etc. Be careful, 'tho, there's a rumored "satisfying" work out there that will only make your eudemonia worse.

        Whenever I have a eudemonia flare-up, somebody inevitably comes along and gives me a dose of ono yaint... That clears it right up.

          You might have eudemonia, but I have idemonia. I thought it was an incurable condition. Then I got married.

            I thought it was laziness til I looked it up. Then I realized laziness is just a cause for the condition, or maybe a complication.

            The problem is too many people come along with advice for treating this condition.

                C'Man,
                Sorry to hear of your condition but you ain't alone buddy.
                I've had it for about 9 years but it's progressed quite a bit is the last 14 months.
                In fact, I having an attack as we speak and am treating it with a dose of happy hour.
                Best of luck with yours,

                    At first I thought C-man was full of Eudemonia, but then I Googled it. I sure hope his wife doesn't know about it. She might become suspicious.
