Yes, we all react to stress differently. That is a great, insightful comment Linkage. Coffee, TCA's, lack of sleep made me very irritable and abrasive to my colleagues at times. Low dose lithium has smooth out some of the irritability in me as well.
Two years ago I started monitoring my sleep with my Fitbit watch, no caffeine, mediating with Headspace app 10 minutes a day, keeping a gratitude journal and read, "The Art of Happiness," by the Dalia Lama. I am much me happier and enjoying times with my colleagues. I even went back to church and have traveled a bit. Most of coworkers mentioned the difference two years ago. I have a lot more empathy, compassion with mediation, "The Art of Happiness."
