I guess the difference is whether you "let it out": Adrenaline is meant 
to give an extra power boost to your body to either fight or run. If you 
fail to do either, it will kick your own ass.


Rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath: Preparation for increased 
oxygen demand.

Stomach cramps: Possibly preparation to literally drop some ballast.

Sweating: Preparation for increased heat production.

Rage: The emotional state associated with the decision to fight.

Anxiety: The emotional state associated with the decision to run.


Depression: The emotional state associated with being unable to either 
fight or run. The natural state of waiting for the jackals and vultures 
to come and get you, or a miracle to save you.
