5. I had back pain when I worked in admin for a human rights group.

I had a conflict with a colleague who did not like me. Her view was not that everyone has some value. I think she's revised that by now. I was being targeted at the time in and out of my work and private life. I had no clue about that. My back was terrible and I had insomnia. I completely lost my working memory (my sequential memory was never good but I went caput as my hippocampus shrank). I made an ass of myself at some point. My colleague and I found some sort of connection and I even spent time with her outside of work. But I never forgot those first few months. That is one thing that stuck with me. I left and went on anti-depressants... a few months later.....a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. My back pain immediately went away. So did my insomnia. A decade later I changed to another kind of antidepressant and my back pain came back. When I went back on the SSRI again my back pain was gone. There definitely is a connection between dangerous times and some kinds of back pain. I know that for sure. I've since met people many times more dangerous than her but thankfully have been on an ssri the whole time. Maybe back pain of that type is related to social danger and you hit the decks and would literally lie low in old time villages we lived in back when we were evolving.
