Once you are used to highly regularised way of working, anything kludgier is pain.

And you spend half your time wondering, "who would allow such a thing to exist like this, where is the pattern?"

This just further erodes at the stack of items you hold in your head while trying to process all the edge cases and other unexpected crap.

One thing though, and I have no idea if relevant, but many people get anxious or struggle because they don't breath out enough.

Especially when a little confronted in some way, they unconsciously keep on topping up on breath without fully breathing out.

Then they find they can't breath in enough, a little panic starts and goes from there.

The number of people I have come across that were "topped up" like this is amazing, and many did not even realise until it was pointed out to them.

Three deep, push out breaths, and start again - fresh oxygen, room to breath, often calming and feels a whole lot better.
