Sometimes when I feel backed up suddenly, like the market tanks, or I get a surprising bill, or I get car damage and have to pay a lot, I’ll get that fight-or-flight instinct and get extremely urgent and determined. I’ll get networking and applying for work immediately, doing freelance projects, odd jobs, whatever I can do to get money ASAP. But when that backed-against-the-wall mindset wears off, I become lazy. 

Do I need norepinephrine boosted to simulate that mindset more often, perhaps through an NDRI or SNRI? Or would serotonin or dopamine (or something else) be the thing to target here?
