1) Run away (anxiety, the fear of fear)
2) Attack (anger)
3) Play dead (depression)
Over millions of years these are the best responses our bodies have evolved to deal with a potential deadly threat.
We are still hard-wired this way. It is out of our control. if you've ever been in a car accident or simiilar you will remember that when it is actually happening your body just reacts to avoid injury. You dont think about it, it just happens. It does whatever it needs to do to get you out of trouble. It is hard-wire to protect you. The thinking, and the fear, come afterwards when you think 'O my god, I could have died,' etc.
So these three states are interwoven and we can expect to experience all three at different times in different intensities.
On the other hand, EVERYBODY gets angry with their boyfriend, girlfriend, partner or whateve rsome of the time.. It's very common and normal to feel this way. Also, EVERYBODY gets down and hopeless from time to time so maybe because we are in an anxiety state, which heightens the intensity (and seeming importance) of our experience, we overreact to any kind of 'wobbling' of the force.
We are hyper=vigilant and over react.
