Word of the Day: Athazagoraphobia

Clearly, I suffer from an acute case. From the meagre Wikipedia entry:

Athazagoraphobia is defined as the fear of (or strong reaction to) forgetting, being ignored, or generally anything dealing with the idea of forgetfulness.

The definition can be extended to depression, anger, or deliberate isolation caused by one being forgotten, or dealing with death (thus being forgotten by those who have passed away).

Do we blog to combat our athazagoraphobia?
