The Phreaking Spectrum

How do you react to a heartbreaking, disturbing, disquieting, challenging, threatening, or inflammatory situation? It occurs to me that there is a spectrum of possible responses. Can you identify where you lie along this axis when confronting a difficult or troubling situation?

Phight, Phlight, Phreeze, Phuss, Phlame,
Phume, Phry, Phumigate, Phoam, Phloat, Phawn,
Phocus, Phunction, Phaze, Phoenix Pheather
Do you know which neuropeptides — which 'Molecules of Emotion' — are implicated in each response? What are the roles of Cortisol, Adrenalin, Bombesin, Gastrin, Dopamine, Oxytocin, Endorphins, and Erasin in the various responses along the Phreaking Spectrum?
