The "9 to 5" part has nothing to do with taking medicine, it's about working a dead end job. It's about someone who stopped pursuing their dreams and is depressed, worn out, and is talked about in the second verse. The "Is a reminder of the time you bled" is not about cutting yourself and watching blood pour from your body, it is someone telling that person to remember the days when he/she believed in their goals, and did everything they could to accomplish them.
