your body will try to jerk itself, at all costs, into a natural rhythm.. a wake or sleep pattern, a work pattern, a play pattern, an eating/drinking pattern.. the body is adeptly tuned to adapt to whatever you throw at it. Alchoholism, Eating Disorders, "Addictive personalities" are all examples of how the body copes with unnatural patterns being fed through it. When we rail against the adapted patterns, anxiety can be a symptom. when we completely rewire ourselves to a normal rhythm, we go through another adaptive process (withdrawal) where one set of norms is replaced by another.. from 24/7 to 9-5 or from coffee to heroin, not a nice process. In the end though, the body fully adapts if you let it.


The need for medication is hand in hand with the outside social stressors that force people into certain patterns. Banks are only open certain hours. You have to be at work by 9, school starts early, the post office closes early, etc... you are expected to squeeze your life into this, because that is the only way to function in a "normal" society.. the well adjusted can handle it, the not so well adjusted need a little help.

Ive yet to meet a well adjusted adult never mind a webmaster but who am i kidding, im nuts
