I heard the term "pink-clouding" on a Law & Order: SVU Episode one day and wondered what that term meant. So, I looked it up and found this definition.

CAUTION: TRIGGER WARNING, SO READ ARTICLE WITH CAUTION (trigger for sui, those in addiction recovery, and talk of s***** assault):

Pink clouding was popularized in 2013 when it appeared in Law & Order: SVU‘s episode “Girl Dishonored.” The episode centers on a college student named Lindsey who is raped at a frat party. After discovering that Lindsey has committed suicide, one of the detectives, Rollins, says that he had spoken to her the day before and that she had been pink clouding, an extension of the original term to describe short-lived euphoria in general.

It's important to not only see the warning signs in others, but also in ourselves when dealing with certain symptoms, thoughts, and behavioral problems related to our various mental illnesses.

What do you all think about this phenomenon?
