Erana Mania
Erana Mania is a psychological state experienced by individuals with an Erana character type when their central core becomes dysfunctional and their ego inflates. In this state, Eranas exhibit the following characteristics:
- Distorted Self-Perception: They see themselves through a distorted mirror, often feeling excessively valuable and grandiose.
- Loss of Environmental Support: Their support system diminishes as they become more erratic and demanding.
- Increased Tantrums: Histrionic outbursts and emotional instability become more frequent.
- Oscillation Between Extremes: They swing between extreme self-importance and self-hatred, leading to internal chaos.
- Perceived Independence: They feel independent and free, but in reality, they are trapped by their internal issues.
- Delusional Ideal Self: They experience a delusional sense of their ideal self, believing they are achieving their highest potential when they are actually far from it.
- Seeking Admiration: They desire constant admiration and validation from others, sharing every detail of their lives and relationships in an attempt to gain approval.
- Eventual Depression: This inflated and unsustainable state eventually leads to a crash into depression, as the unrealistic self-perception collapses.
