I hope no-one ever asks me "How does that make you feel?". Too complicated or too meaningless and hopefully rather obvious.
I am afraid a therapist is likely to think I intellectualise too much as a defence mechanism. I think it can be a useful mechanism.
I rather know if I feel something, what to do. I want to describe what I feel in some situation, but in general, only.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
