Good points. I did notice while watching the series again that Simon is helping River or preventing her from doing something almost nonstop...he gets a few breaks with Kaylee but you can tell that he's always on edge otherwise. I'd think River would be stressed a lot of the time because she feels what other people feels, and besides that being freaky, she would feel other people's troubles and stress. Add that to a disorganized and fractured mind, and it's no wonder she has episodes.

It's like "Ojects in Space". River hears the stray thoughts of the crew, but what context does she have to understand them. We know more about what's going on with the crew and yet we are guessing at some of the meanings of these telepathic messages River is getting. And now imagine this occuring over and over again. It is wonder she doesn't step out an airlock.
At least Inara has an outlet. I notice she often takes young men under her arm and guides through their first time. Knowing she is helping others must give her a lot of satisfaction. And a good romp in the sack sure helps relieve stress.
I notice both Jayne and Book work out a lot. You see them lift weights in a couple of episodes. Book is about the only one Jayne talks seriously with. I guess it must be Book's religious background that makes Jayne feel safe talking openly with him.
