I have never done anything like that before. I also felt like I was in a dream for part of it. It was like I was drunk or drugged. Are you seriously denying the power of hormones. They are among the most powerful chemicals on this planet. The endocrine system can be affected by stress and I had a lot of stress in the last few years. Would you have said the same to someone who had a thyroid hormone imbalance. My sister's symptoms were ignored and her thyroid packed up altogether - she could have died. Now she has to take thyroxin tablets for the rest of her life. My next door neighbour had the same and went into a coma, before it got noticed. She kept forgetting things and having trouble co-ordinating and put on weight. People with two much of the thyroxin hormone are hyperactive and their eyes often bulge noticeably. I have too much testosterone, (this has been measured) and have physical effects like suddenly growing hair on my face, putting on weight and my hair becoming greasy much more quickly. One of my female friends has it worse than me and has to shave every day. I don't know why you compare a theological concept to a measurable physical one. the endocrine system is not speculation or a matter of faith. Are you saying testosterone supplements don't affect body builders and athletes? Or that Viagra doesn't work?
