Mostly I resent the fact that my mind becomes completely clouded, like I'm on some drug.
You are.
I don't think naturally producing a hormone counts as being on drugs. If it did, that would mean that everyone is on tons of drugs all of the time.
Some people seem to get higher dose of internally produced drugs than others.
I suppose that's what they call "being more emotional"?
Probably one of those words that could mean many things:
a) a higher dose of hormones;
b) greater awareness of your internal state; or
c) an exaggerated reaction to the same dose of hormones.
Measuring the difference between those three is hardly trivial, though. Can't they be considered the same for all practical purposes?
In short them, yes. I long term, some people would benefit from awareness-increasing techniques, such as meditation or therapy, while other people would benefit from changing their behavior.
