Perhaps this is a better analogy:
If you've ever been in a physical fight, you can go a long time with an injury and not even be aware of it because of the adrenaline.
Then, long after the fight, when the adrenaline subsides you realize just how wounded you are.
Life is like that fight, and that adrenaline is a coping mechanism. But, it can't last forever and it is within your best interest that the adrenaline does wear off so that you can understand and tend to your wounds.
