I work in a rural area for a Fortune 100 electric utility. We have had several high performing people break down at work; one was away for a year and was a shrunken shadow when he returned, barely able to hold a conversation. Two years after returning he is mostly recovered. Stress is no joke.
I would have said I have no anxiety problem either, but one day I was trying to get paperwork done while the usual whirlwind was going around me, and I nearly blacked out; when I came around I had a lump in my chest. It was diagnosed as an anxiety attack, which often triggers esophageal spasm.
Stress is central to several maladies today – cardio-vascular disease, immune problems, and possibly some cancers. Humans have rarely had problems with predators, even in the fossil record chewed human bones are rare. We have a much more voracious foe now.
I’d rather be hunting a saber tooth than going to work at a job I hate each day.
Reality is life is hard unless you LOVE your job which is only 25% of the people out there.
Stress, anxiety are mental disorders…depression too, these are mainly caused by lack of money or trying to earn it in my opinion. If I had a 3rd party source of money or was a filthy rich from day 1, I’d like never have had any of the above issues…ever and my mental health would be excellent.
