Alchemy of Emotions 解构论

「Anger」

This is an ancient survival program instantly activated for fight. A surge of stress hormones and activation of the sympathetic nervous system accelerates your heartbeat, diverts blood flow, and mobilizes energy, all while activity in the prefrontal cortex is relatively suppressed, making you prone to swift impulse and reaction over rational thought in that moment.

「Happiness」

This is a precise neurochemical storm driven by the reward system. Dopamine marks reward and desire, while endorphins and endocannabinoids directly induce euphoria and calm. Together, they lower stress hormones, relax the cardiovascular system, and place your body into an efficient, pleasurable, and highly motivated positive feedback loop.

「Serenity」

This is the “rest and digest” state, with the parasympathetic nervous system in full command. Once the brain perceives the threat is gone, heart rate and breathing slow, stress hormone levels drop, and the body disengages from a high-alert state of readiness, switching into an optimal mode for repair and regeneration.

「Anxiety」

This is a faulty threat spinning and sounding incessantly. Your amygdala and sympathetic nervous system remain on high alert, continuously sending chemical signals to prepare the body for action, despite the absence of any real danger. This persistently energy-consuming physiological state is exhausting, yet cannot be truly shut down.

「Depression」

This is not a sorrow of the heart, but a system-wide physiological downregulation. Your body seems trapped in a silent war of internal attrition. Chronically elevated cortisol levels suppress immune and repair functions, and the depletion of key neurotransmitter systems ultimately drains you of all energy and motivation.
