When reactivity goes onto obsession it's going wrong. I too have experienced obsessive desires to read new content etc, while I knew I rather had to take a break.The rats in the experiment are high serotonin.
Serotonin is the natural break of the body.
The function I believe is that it tells the body, whatever you are doing it is not working.
I may have given you freaking a lot of dopamine in the past for this behaviour.
But I think we should stop.
I'm stressed out for months, this is going to kill us.
I think the best thing to do now is inactivity.
If you think you get rewarded by whatever, I will make so much serotonin, that you won't feel this dopamine.
Let's stop reacting, let's stop exploring, it doesn't help us.
However, modern humans don't stop reacting.
It is too easy and with low energy cost to go on the internet.
Watch videos.
Play games.
They don't stop.
Our natural break is gone.
If you are high serotonin.
Just stop doing stuff.
Go on holiday.
Go lay in the sun.
Close your eyes, while hearing the sounds of the waves.
Eat healthy.
This will cure high serotonin in a very short period if you ask me.
Like you say, the best thing to do is go out and relax in the sun during a holiday. No technology allowed.
