getting enough adrenaline from stress to end the cycle (super harmful in the long run)

That's me! I'm pretty sure my baseline cortisol levels could kill a small animal. Also pretty sure sustaining that level has done permanent damage to my body.

Yes.
And there is absolutely no way a neurotypical person can comprehend that.

That's why a crisis (a "stressful situations" by normies definitions) calms us down and/or we continue to function normally. And normies just panic. And even when it's obvious to us what is best to do next, we have to wait for them to calm tf down to even understand what we are saying. But by then the advantage is lost.
