There's more

 There's a state of mind, a "mental frequency" if you will that I end up in on a fairly regular basis. I'm in it right now. When I'm in this state of mind, I feel like I can perceive everything at a heightened level. Everything appears clearer than usual. Everything makes more sense. It feels like my emotions are dormant and my perception is totally uninhibited. It's a strange feeling, but a good feeling. I feel high. My creativity is enhanced, I can make more connections between things, and I feel extremely alive. My anxiety transmutes into excitement. Whenever I tap into this "frequency" I get this very strong feeling that life is not what it appears. I get a feeling that there's so much more to reality than most people know. It's actually more than just a feeling, it's something I see. It also feels like I'm able to fully utilize my intellect, my cognitive abilities are at their peak. 


I've experienced this several times and I'm still not quite sure what causes it. Although I just realized something right now. This state of mind seems to be triggered whenever I'm exposed to something that intrigues me. Just recently I was in my Abnormal Psychology class and we were discussing the different regions of the brain. It's kind of comical I guess haha. I'm also almost certain that there's a serotonergic component to it. It's still a mystery to me though. It's just something that happens sometimes. It's almost like I'm in a dream. 


I should also mention that I'm aware this sounds a lot like hypomania (or something similar) and it probably is.
