The following are not physiological reactions to stress:

1. Emotions spiral out of control- This is not a physiological reaction to stress. It is a psychological reaction to stress since it affects the mind (thoughts), mood (emotions) and behavior. Emotions spiraling out of control in response to stress might have a small physiological component, however, it is mostly a psychological reaction to stress. 

2. Permanent amnesia kicks in- This is also not a physiological reaction to stress. Instead, temporary amnesia is a reaction to stress. When people undergo stress during traumatic experiences or events, they experience something known as "dissociative amnesia". This type of amnesia occurs as a coping mechanism in stressful situations. 

3. Adrenaline decreases- This is not a physiological reaction to stress. In stressful situations, along with cortisol, the levels of the hormone, adrenaline also increase. Adrenaline is produced in large quantities during stressful episodes, which in turn, makes your heart beat rapid, breathing shallow and blood pressure increase.
