Imagine, if you will, the inevitable ads: "Think it's just bitterness from job loss, foreclosure on your home, or that nonexistent pension for which you've been saving all your working years? It may be 'post-traumatic embitterment disorder,' a mental illness that some doctors think is due to a chemical imbalance . . ."
From a blog on the Pyschology Today website.
I really like the word embitterment. It's rare that a word can convey a sensation so easily, but just saying that word out loud makes me feel a little grouchy (and saying the word bubbly several times in a row makes me feel better).
