Dear Aunty,
I'm suffering from a very serious emotional disorder. That's right, you've read about it but maybe you haven't actually interacted with someone who suffers from Severe Olympics Medal Apathy Disorder (SOMAD). I know it's shameful to say out loud, but I really don't give a flying fig which country wins a medal in which event. From what I've read, I have one of the more serious cases of SOMAD, accompanied by the delusion that the Olympics and all their hype are merely yet another way of TV networks earning billions in advertising money by wasting our time.
Thus far I've managed to stay in the closet, but I had a close call yesterday when a friend noticed me NOT checking my smart phone after one of the events ended. I quickly made up some excuse about already knowing the results, but I don't know if he bought it.
Aunty, should I stay into the closet, or do you think my loved ones have a right to know how seriously disturbed I am? Do you know of any support groups? I know help is available, but for something as shameful and deviant as this, you can understand that I'm not completely willing to talk about this openly.
Please help.
