I've noticed that I used to be more overemotional (of all feelings), thinking of the past, desiring romance, passionate, almost manic...but I had interestingly lost my creativity over the years of stress.
Now, on my hormone protocol, I've noticed that I don't get overemotional. Yet I still retain a sense of passion and wonder. But I can't help but feel that I'm more matter of fact, more rational, and it feels like I'm losing my more "deeply feeling" self. Too early to tell, but I find I'm less compassionate or empathetic. It's a feeling of not wanting to be around people that are having a lot of issues anymore. On the other hand I'm gaining the new qualities as well, one being better social skills, more confidence, more neutral and stable.
Are artist-types, as a generalization, serotonin dominant? Ray Peat sounds rather clinical in his interviews, yet he seems to have depth of understanding of abstract human experiences....either on an analytical level or a felt level....I can't tell.
I've never understood the goal of euphoria with Peat...because it's not very specific. You could be manic or dissociating or on the sixth hour of your marathon run and feeling euphoric.
