Urgency addiction

A psychological dependency on the adrenaline and identity-shaping that comes from constant busyness and crisis, making ordinary pace feel like stagnation and rest feel like failure. Breaking it often requires treating urgency itself as a substance to detox from rather than a reasonable response to the world.
