She kept his life organized by writing poti-it notes for him and herself, so that nothing was ever forgotten or overlooked. When Polly was laid off after her boss retired, she continued writing post-it notes and leaving them all over the house. She rarely went out and was eventually diagnosed with Postittrauma. If you want to help Polly and others like her who suffer from Postittrauma Stress Disorder, please send money.

Pronunciation: post/itch

Sentence: Lea was sure she was finally on top of things. Feeling so organized and up to date on all of her errands, paperwork, phone calls etc. Things that were not done yet, were in line and in order for when she had the time. Now that she was free she invited Tony over to her place for the first time. She was devastated when he took just a few steps in, looked around and said, "Oh man, dude...you've got the worst case of Postitch I've ever seen, and I haven't been vaccinated!" Needless to say, after he said, "See ya when I see ya," she stood there "scratching her head" in disbelief, then made a note to herself "Google Postitch" and stuck it on the fridge.

Etymology: Post-It Itch
