Omnipotence
Every attempt at thought or action ends in an omnipotence paradox. E.g., can God make a rock so heavy even he can't lift it?
Having unlimited power means you control everything. You have no time to enjoy your power because you're constantly making sure the laws of physics stay and balance so the universe doesn't dissolve.
Guthix basically.
You have analysis paralysis. You can do everything, but you can't figure out what you want to do at any given time, so you just do nothing.
You also gain impotence. Congratulations! You now know that you can only be a god by being a paradox
