    @danoliver Same. It's entirely chemical. Cortisol and adrenaline take a while to be metabolised. During which your appetite is suppressed, and so is the part of your brain used to make rational decisions, apparently.

      @danoliver It's also entirely natural and nothing to be worried about. That fight or flight response is there to protect you. No getting rid of it! But... you may be able to reduce the response and recovery time through some therapy if it's bothering you.
