It pulls everything together into a pattern that approximates real ecstasy but is probably something less than that. For example, the ecstatic experience of a sex addict having an orgasm may very well be a blend of good and bad feelings , just as being drunk is. The bad feelings actually strengthen the good feelings for the experiencer, and this strengthening is necessary so that the person can tell himself or herself that they're experiencing something really wonderful. They think it's wonderful because it's so strong. It's not so much that the person is in ecstasy as that they think they are in ecstasy.
Emotional immunity goes beyond feelings.
If something hurts you and your immune system is operating effectively, it will immediately move you in a direction away from that hurt, not towards it. This simple truth, which should make sense to anyone, can be surprisingly difficult for certain people to accept. And that disacceptance is a good example of what a dysfunctional immune system can do. When your immune system malfunctions, it can prevent you from knowing something that is right in front of your face. Love is normal, grief is not.
