We're continuing our "stress week" with a question about the hormones that make you feel "ramped up" after a scare. 🏃‍♂️

Which hormone is released into your bloodstream by the adrenal glands and can keep you feeling amped up for minutes after an initial scare?

Before I really got a handle on my ptsd diagnosis, my adrenaline gland would fire constantly to warn me of danger that wasn't there. It was mentally and physically exhausting. I'm so grateful that side affect is gone now.

I've heard that zebras are stressed for a few days after a scare... and we're not that different... scare/fear shocks us... and it doesn't just dissipate seemingly in an instant

What cases the shakes after an adrenaline boost? I get the boost, and then when things are all taken care of, I shake like human jello, even if I wasn't scared during the event.

You can't have funny ones be an option because I will always choose funny over fact. Cuz it's funny.

I thought epinephrine and adrenaline were two entirely different things. Apparently I was wrong. I'm such an idiot🤦‍♀

How about that crash afterward? Where your knees disappear and you come damn close to peeing yourself? Do not recommend.
