The best way to cure a case of Miserable Man Syndrome

Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated? Yep, dear Foxy fans, just like the once-lauded-but-now-derided John Lydon Esq, I have found myself surrounded by misery of late, and not just due to The Big Fat Orange Monster threatening to wipe out 6,000-year-old civilisations on a social media whim either.

No, I am afraid it’s even worse. The old soak (surely you know who I mean by now) is going through yet another mid-life crisis – and that’s his third since I have known him. It is not a virus, nor is it contagious, but it seems he has gone down with a nasty dose of Miserable Man Syndrome and it has wiped him out this time…or so he claims.

The symptoms are as distinct as they are baffling. According to one report, there are a number of key signs that a bloke near you is under threat, including:

–  Chronic irritability and anger: Frequently snapping, sarcastic, or hostile over minor issues.

– Emotional Withdrawal: “Time bomb” behaviour, becoming distant and grumpy.

– Increased Negativity: A pessimistic outlook, focusing on complaints.

– Physical Complaints: Fatigue or unexplained aches.

–  Escapist Behaviours: Spending excessive time doing nothing useful, scrolling on phones, or turning to alcohol.

To be fair, I can’t recall him – or any other bloke I have ever known for that matter – being anything else. Never mind Miserable Man Syndrome, they should just call it Being A Man.

Now, naturally, there is plenty of advice online as to how to tackle the situation and coax “your man” back to life.

Luckily, we ignored all that nonsense and instead set up an office whip-round to ensure our esteemed boss can get as far away from us all for as long as possible.

After all, as they say, as one door closes another one opens and, at last, I am starting to feel my own mood lighten and the sun beginning to pour in. If we can get shot of the miserable old sod for a while, then there will be more fun to have for everyone.

Now all we’ve got to do is get rid of that Tango’d idiot in the States and us girls will finally be able to kick back and relax…
