The following content is only for understanding and discussing psychological phenomena, and is not intended to encourage or guide any dangerous behavior. If you or someone around you is in a state of depression or despair, it is recommended to seek professional help and support as soon as possible. The following are some activities that are sometimes associated with strong feelings of despair and the pursuit of extreme excitement in psychology and behavioral science research: 1. Self-harm behavior: Some people may injure themselves by cutting their wrists, burning, or other means in order to get a kind of "emotional release" or feel a sense of existence. Such behavior often does not solve the underlying problem and may aggravate psychological pain in the long run. 2. Dangerous driving or reckless risk-taking: This includes deliberately speeding in traffic, driving recklessly, or deliberately putting oneself in potentially fatal risks. This high-risk behavior may provide an adrenaline rush in an instant, but it also greatly increases the risk of accidents and subsequent psychological frustration. 3. Extreme sports or other high-risk adventure activities: such as skydiving, rock climbing, BASE jumping, etc. without proper protection. Although these activities may give some people a short-term feeling of "being alive", once an accident occurs, the physical or psychological trauma they bring may be very serious. 4. Drug and alcohol abuse: In order to temporarily relieve the pain in their hearts, some individuals may resort to drugs (including illegal drugs or over-the-counter drugs) and alcohol. These substances may temporarily change the chemical structure of the brain, bringing pleasure or anesthesia, but in the long run, they are prone to cause dependence, aggravate mood swings, and even mental illness. 5. Gambling or other high-risk financial behaviors: People who are desperate to seek excitement sometimes invest a lot of money in gambling or high-risk financial investments. This behavior may stimulate adrenaline secretion in the short term, but the losses and the resulting financial pressures can also have a profound impact on mental health, forming a vicious cycle. 6. Risky sexual behavior: In some cases, individuals may engage in sexual behavior without proper safety protection or frequently change partners in order to seek emotional or physical stimulation. Such behavior may not only bring physical health risks, but also aggravate emotional loneliness and insecurity. It should be noted that although these behaviors may bring some "stimulation" or temporarily reduce the perception of pain in the short term, they often complicate psychological problems in the long run, potentially exacerbating feelings of self-denial, guilt or despair. In fact, this kind of extreme behavior is more of an unhealthy expression of psychological imbalance or inner pain. If you find yourself or someone around you has the above behavioral tendencies, or is experiencing strong emotions such as helplessness and despair, it is recommended that you: • Contact a mental health professional, such as a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist, as soon as possible. • Share your feelings with trusted friends and family, and do not bear them alone. • If there is a risk of self-harm or suicide, please call the local emergency number (for example, the psychological crisis service hotline in mainland China is 400-161-9995). Finally, remember that the fundamental need for seeking excitement is often related to unmet emotional needs deep in your heart. Professional help and emotional support can help you find safer and more effective ways to deal with your inner pain. Your physical and mental health is very important, and seeking help in time is the first step to get out of trouble.
