The human brain is a balance machine.Every thought, craving, and emotion is shaped by three core chemicals: dopamine, serotonin, and cortisol.1️⃣ Dopamine drives reward and motivation.2️⃣ Serotonin brings stability and peace.3️⃣ Cortisol triggers stress and alertness.When they work together, life feels steady — energy in the morning, focus through the day, calm at night.But modern life breaks that rhythm.Caffeine, scrolling, porn, alcohol, constant noise — they all spike dopamine without effort, drown serotonin, and keep cortisol high long after dark.The result is a body that wakes up anxious, a mind that mistakes peace for boredom, and a life built on chasing stimulation just to feel normal.That’s what happened to Liam, a friend whose story reveals what happens when homeostasis, the brain’s natural balance, turns against you.Overstimulation rewires motivation. Addiction is biology running on autopilot.Learn how to recover by spacing pleasures, restoring rhythm, and letting boredom become healing again.Discipline, rest, and real connection aren’t punishments — they’re how the brain remembers peace.(00:00) When Pleasure Becomes Poison (00:48) Dopamine, Serotonin, and Cortisol (01:18) A Healthy, Balanced Brain vs. a Hijacked Brain (05:45) Homeostasis and the Pleasure–Pain Seesaw (06:26) The Cost of Overstimulation and Addiction (08:42) Is Our School System the Problem?
