holiday histrionic disorder:

overview: anxiety based disorder specifically related to the end of each calendar year, lasting for a relatively short period of time between thanksgiving + new year’s day. symptoms intensify as the year closes, + often disappear completely by the 3rd week in january. commonly known among lay persons as “christmas chaos disorder”

population: tends to manifest itself mainly in females (especially mothers) of the type a personality . although in recent years, numbers of persons diagnosed has risen among the male population.

note: there is a direct correlation between the number of children + the severity of the symptoms.

a. excessive anxiety + worry, occurring more often + increasingly towards the end of december.

b. general feelings of inadequacy, unworthiness or incompetence.

c. the disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of the weather (see seasonal affectiveness disorder), although these 2 disorders can occur in conjunction with each other, as well as exascerbate symptoms.

(4) impatience, irritability displayed in crowded public places
(5) sudden aggressive or violent emotions (mostly directed towards seasonal retail help +/or significant other)
(6) an intense aversion to the colors green +/or red (except regarding foods or drinks)
(7) constant worry or depression over weight gain (yet patient shows no signs of dieting, often over indulging in sweets + unhealthy foods)

prognosis: excellent. patients respond positively to treatment during peak cycles + often function normally during dormant cycles.

treatment: drug therapy in conjunction with at home relaxation techniques like aromatherapy + social drinking.

we're back from a wonderful time at disneyland!
i miss the old tomorrowland futuristic style + kitchen of the future. the innoventions attraction is so outdated, but 2 employees told me they're building a new "house of the future" within the building that will be ready next summer. it's going to be called "the connected house"


it's a small world is my favorite attraction. it is sooo darling, especially with my mod*tot + mod*pop to share it. the light display was spectacular. every 15 minutes the exterior was transformed. here's a video link
