Dysphoria isn’t the “opposite” of euphoria. Negative feelings can teach us and point toward more affirming ways of being.

[…] sometimes the evocation of “negative” values and sensations can be how we can begin to notice what wanting, pleasure, and euphoria feel like, how they are held in us. […] Indeed, dislike and dysphoria aren’t merely the opposites of liking and euphoria; they can also give us clues for how we might begin to imagine and embody liking and euphoria. This may seem paradoxical but I suggest that dysphoria can hold within it the possibility for euphoria.
