There really is no 'normal' but a range. I would say If your cortisol is low and you feel little stress, then you are unlikely to suffer dammage to the hippocampus (at least from cortisol)
If you find yourself suffering stress related mood disorders (ie extreme/persisting lows after a stressfull event) this could be indicitive of some dammage to your hippocampus.
We are the latter. For some reason the cortisol our bodies release is too much/stays in the body too long, and does our system dammage.
For me, stressfull situations almost always induce a painful a sickeneing feeling that I just want to die. Trying to convince myself that the event will indeed end is useless. I have found a few items that do indeed help this sickening and persisting feeling. Large doses of vitamin c, lithium, ginkgo, and some other anticortisols seem to flush that feeling out.
I am waiting and hoping for something that will spedifically reduce that tension. I have a strong feeling that anticortisols will be those miracles.
