From the author, Pamela Little: “When I published a memoir in 2014, I took informal credit for inventing a self-imposed diagnosis to add to the annals of dysfunction. If you take a look at my book on Amazon at “The Resting Place – A Graveside Diary” under my former name Pamela Little, you’ll see the story behind the humorously true condition. For now, here’s the definition of PDDD from the book: “Death of the spirit is far more fatal than death of the body, and body and spirit feel equally crushed after a divorce. I call it Post-Divorce Destruction Disorder, PDDD. No, there isn’t a pill for it yet that I’m aware of. It is characterized by rapid weight loss in the initial radioactive phase of divorcing, perhaps coinciding with a rebound relationship, and leads to weight gain due to fierce attempts to bury grief and anger, while at the same time warding off the opposite sex in case that doesn’t work out either.”
Little tells Soul Custody Press: “In Amazon reviews, feel free to write what you are reminded of from your own experience after reading the book, rather than a critique of the book itself, though both are welcome. Many people get half way through before putting it down due to its dark, comedic nature. They then miss the light at the end of the tunnel; the recovery from PDDD. So push through. Hopefully I can inspire you to get to the other side if you feel stuck in the dark. Better still, I can inspire you to help others through to the other side. The sequel, an unpublished manuscript titled “The Rest,” is still…resting on my shelf.”
