> Well said Doug. So long as the euphoria is socially responsible I'm all in favour of it. Sometimes even if it isn't. Sort of like a time out from our suffering. Don't we deserve it occasionally?
Hi Guys,
I reread my post and it sounds as if I too am opposed to euphoria. I am not. As a matter of fact, my dream is to live in a state of controlled, euphoric hypomania. Wouldn't that be nice?
What I am opposed to, because I think it is dangerous, is addiction - the type that demands you take more and more to get to the same euphoric state and then starts stealing away any control you do have. You can never get back that initial, pleasant euphoria you first experienced. You then find yourself using several different docs to get what you need, because the amount you need would raise some eyebrows. Can you tell I've been there? Opiates are know for this kind of mess.
A time out from suffering is not a bad thing...as long as in staying there you don't get hurt.
Karen
