What actually makes emotions or feelings like love/excitement/happiness “feel” good? And what makes anxiety, sadness, depression “feel” bad. What part of the body are the physical aspects of the feeling affecting?

When you feel a certain way, your body releases hormones and chemicals, basically drugging you, to trigger an emotional response, but as to why it _feels_ a certain way, the truth is we don’t know. We don’t have an explanation on how physical phenomena connect to our inner consciousness. E.g. Why is red _red_? It’s one of the greatest mysteries in science. Google “Qualia” and the “Explanatory gap” to learn more.
