Adrenaline is not my friend!

I have noticed that any rush of adrenaline, from a sudden shock to delivering training for a large group of people for work, makes me super wobbly. I couldn’t walk at all for about an hour after a mouse jumped out from behind my curtain. Anyone else have this?

Yep,

Any stress or andrenaline situations leave me absolutely exhausted.

Was with my parents when they had a very small accident in the car last year. Just hit the tyre on a kerb and got a puncture. I was exhausted afterwards.

yes very much so... I used to get physically sick but a course of psychotherapy helped me to conquer it.

Yes, Beth does this, if the dog or her wee sister suddenly run by her she gets v stressed, and stumbles or falls. So interesting piecing it all together, thanks x
