Calling all psychologists!

Well, several of my psych and community health major buddies have brought up that they all want to use me as an example of their latest psychological discovery. The newest complex is...(big fat drumroll here)...THE SUPERHERO COMPLEX!!!

Typical symptoms include but are certainly not limited to: Always being involved in a million different grassroots causes and being the queen and tyrant and dictator of scheduling, Trying to help out all of your friends even if it includes some very emotionally deteriorating steps to be taken, Running for more than one extracurricular leadership position, Volunteering to help people you've never even met, and basically just thinking you can save the world while you lose sight of everything else.

Side effects involve but are also certainly not limited to: Huge lack of sleep, Consumption of massive amounts of coffee (best if you're the type who can handle the strongest types of coffee), Appearring to be everywhere at once, Idealistic attitude and complete dejection when things don't go the way you've planned them, Ability to debate anyone at anytime about your causes, The ever-present question of "How do you do all of that???!!!" and super-amazing time management skills.

If you know this person, it's most likely that she's just finished typing this post.

The cure: There is no cure and there never will be.
