Medications are not optional too.

All the "players" I know are on medication, period. I suspect cancer is following (just my view I have no source). So thanks but no thanks.

For me the next benchmark after perceived happiness is wether or not you're on medication (with rare exceptions). It you're on medication (rare exceptions apply), you can be driving the most beautiful of cars, your life is shit. Rare exceptions apply like you're working on something great or you have inherited your condition. You get the idea.

You think your job and you politics and your thoughts are not responsible for your condition? You think it's the cat? You havent read the manual.

I feel dumb but can you be more specific? Are you talking about antidepressants or amphetamines? I’m guessing you aren’t talking about insulin.

Food and the people you're spending time with are critical. You can be sick because you deal with a toxic person, particularly relatives or intimate relationship. Leaving that person will make a seemingly unrelated sickness disapear almost overnight (asma, back pain, etc.). It happened to me and my father. No rocket science here.

Thats why they all on medication in offices. They are toxic to each other, they get sick. It's just that sometimes the person go from toxic parent to office and never realize whats causing the disease.

I'm pretty sure neither my diabetes nor my high blood pressure, both of which I take medications for, were caused by "toxic co-workers". What you're writing sounds like new-age gobbledy-gook, not far removed from crystals and auras (or shoving rocks up your...)

I don’t know why you’re being obtuse, just say what they’re taking.

I didnt expect your objections. Fair enough.

Let me tell you a mistake you're making. If I present you with a liquid in a jar that smells toxic, you're saying "we havent proven this liquid is toxic". Even though your own nose is telling you it just might be.

Same thing with toxic office politics.

Stress can definitely lead to physical symptoms. Also to lack of sleep. Back pain, for sure.

The only drug I’m on is the maple cruller from the shop next to our office. This is not universal.

I really wonder how many “players” are on a stimulant. It really opened my eyes.
