Does being an adrenalin junkie relieve stress or is it the height of stress?
Obviously you are living under stress most of the time if you are an adrenalin junkie. The term Adrenalin Junkie was used in the film Point Break referring to the people that prefer living dangerously. As a critical care nurse we were referred to sometimes as adrenalin junkies, then you could label many types of jobs such as fire fighters, policeman, window cleaners that work 70 stories up, and so forth. The everyday adrenalin junkie is slightly different. They tend to create drama and crisis in their lives, either consciously or unconsciously, and they get that rush of excitement. This type of person works better under pressure and in stressful situations. The following are some types of adrenalin junkies that may be in your life or may actually be you: • People that always seem to have a crisis going on in their life. They surround themselves with troubled people who need their help. • People that are always rushing with a fully packed schedule and they will take more on as necessary
