Feelings of panic wash over me as the adrenaline kicks in - my old friend 'anxiety' is back on the scene.... Now, I get that there is a reason for having adrenaline and that without it we would have more problems but I wish my amygdala would take a reality check and only come into play when it is really needed, like if there was a tiger in my bedroom or an asteroid about to hit my house and I need all that adrenaline, triggered by my amygdala.  I mean, it's working overtime so really should be getting bored and tired - trust me, it's not!
