Taking Over the Mind
Emotions are natural instinctive states of mind. They are what a person feels in their self and mood when they think about something. In every emotion, there is a downside. Whether that be too happy or too sad, emotions can sometimes get the most of people. Emotions can be overwhelming to the human body. They can totally consume your inner thoughts and feelings until there is nothing left to think and feel except that emotion.
Sadness can be a dangerous and harmful emotion. Millions of people have mental disorders caused by immense sadness and depression. Suffering from this emotion can be fatal in some cases. In some people’s eyes and minds, sadness cannot be shaken or let go. In every situation, the misery and sorrow can consume a person’s mind. Teenagers are often suffering from being sad and depressed. Teenage years are overwhelming and a lot for someone to handle. Being in high school surrounded by judgmental people does not help them whatsoever. Sometimes, some people just cannot find any happiness in their life. Sadness can not only depress someone into a stage of darkness and despair, but it can also cause that person to think horrid thoughts about ending their lives. This is one of the most dangerous and harmful emotions that can overcome a person’s mind. It can take all the fun and light out of the world in a person’s eyes.
Not only is sadness a harmful emotion to the mind, but many other emotions can have this same effect on people. A person’s emotions are sometimes not something that person has control of. These things just arise and slowly take over.
