What Worry May Do to You (HTSWASL, 1:3 )

According to Dr. Russell L. Cecil, the four commonest conditions that bring on arthritis are:

1. Marital shipwreck.
2. Financial disaster and grief.
3. Loneliness and worry.
4. Long-cherished resentments.

Seems like horse squeeze that a "world-recognized authority on arthritis" would suggest the ailment  was mental, but what do I know?

Regardless, worrying isn't good for your health. I remember when I was relieved of a very stressful job. I was determined to not quit, and I was trying everything I could think to do to get results. I had a number of things I needed to have done to keep my job, but no matter what I did, results eluded me. A few days after being let go, my folks visited and took the kids to King's Island. I drove, and tried to be a good sport. I didn't feel relaxed until I rode The Beast. The anxiety I felt going up and down that wooden coaster felt like nothing compared to the emotional roller-coaster my former job put me through daily. Being without a job sucked, but the job I had was slowly killing me.
