Anybody not ok?
We were discussing this in the off-topics section a couple of months ago but yes, absolutely being a Dreamer is a health hazard. I've had moderate-severe GERD (Acid Reflux) for the last 11 years that I'm convinced is brought up because of my stress levels because nobody else in my family has ever had to deal with that and I probably live a healthier lifestyle than all of them.

Then there is the constant anxiety and the occasional mini-panic attacks that weren't there before. It's just not healthy to be under constant stress over something we have so little control over. Emotional stress eventually causes physical damage.
