In our century, which seems to bow to positive feelings and openly condemns pessimism, the state of euphoria is often called an exclusively positive phenomenon. But it is still very many-sided, and therefore it will be useful to study it impartially.
What is euphoria and why does it occur
The feeling that a person is in high spirits, expects the best from life, does not remember his problems and sees the world around in a rainbow light, may be due to a number of reasons.
They can be divided into favorable and unfavorable: the former are based on any real success, as a result of which the person progresses and enjoys with full right the result of his work. Adverse causes of euphoria are based on an imitation of well-being. This may be a condition caused artificially using stimulants of a chemical nature. Or unnatural elation caused by self-hypnosis, often based on inadequate self-esteem. In the latter case, glee will soon be replaced by disappointment from a clash with reality. And a person who has just recently been inspired, will forget what euphoria and generally good mood are. After all, he will have to realize how far he is from the actual realization of his desires.
The flip side of euphoria
If unnaturally high spirits are not a consequence of taking stimulants, then fighting it is pointless. Even if a person, subject to changes in emotional states, realizes that his feelings are biased, there is no point in denying them. It is better to try to distantly analyze the causes of such fluctuations. To understand what euphoria is, you need to have a good idea of what a normal emotional state is and what depression is. The latter is always characterized by heavy feelings of despair, hopelessness, decreased motor and cognitive activity, and difficulties in communicating with people. A normal state allows a person to function at a high level, without losing contact with reality, to experience all the everyday troubles, without denying their own emotions. Sorrow, sadness, fatigue - this is part of a person’s normal inner life. And if there is no painful loop on these feelings, they exhaust themselves, and heaviness in the soul is replaced by relief.
The seductiveness of mood swings
What is euphoria, and how much this condition can be unhealthy, you can understand if you imagine that normally a person stands firmly on the ground, in rainbow glee he tries to fly above its surface (often with the help of fantasies), and in depression it seems to fall into a deep pit of despair from which he sees no way out. If you take responsibility and adequately evaluate your experiences, you will be able to survive even difficult moments with the least loss. And also do not let yourself be confused by deceptive states, one of which is precisely euphoria.
Photos that are evaluated at different times in life by a person as reflecting his real feelings or showing only false pretense can provide a key to understanding the real causes of a wide variety of emotions.
