The only endorphin highs I've ever had were from deep massage and acupuncture/pressure. Not exercise.

Endorphin highs happen from tattoos. That's about it.

Hmm, I should reconsider my lack of tattoos.

Tattoos and ruffly skirts for everyone!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't know if I would recognize an endorphin high if it bit me on the nose.
I was just listening to a TTBOOK that included some scientists who were trying to study the elusive and legendary "runner's high" and determined that the levels of a particular cannabinoid increase in humans and dogs but not ferrets after 30 minutes of running (compared to 30 minutes of walking or 30 minutes of resting). So that's a thing that happens, apparently.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I think I got an endorphin rush at the naked lady spa post mega-soaking and then being scrubbed down to mega-fresh skin. Or whatever the relaxed version of endorphins are. Jesus, that was an amazing feeling. I just felt good. So good.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I love that their mind went to the Running of the Ferrets. Do you suppose they tried any other animals? "We're ready for the next test subject. Get one of the interns to chase this penguin around for half an hour making seal noises."

With these knees, I'm not likely to get an endorphin rush from running unless a bear stumbles across me at the local lake.
Or dig a DEEP DEEP hole and have y'all help me with an alibi.
I have relatives who own property in the woods, no longer have dogs, and travel frequently. IJS.

I get no endorphin rush at all. But I do get a sense of "I can kick ass now." I wouldn't exercise or bear children for that feeling because it would ineffectual when actual drugs are more easily accessible and long-term cheaper.
I have to figure out what to wear today.

I don't think I have any endorphins.
