What is this "baseline mood" that you speak of? (j/k)

I agree with grizmom though, working on making the hypomania and depression less severe is a good thing to do. It takes a lot of time and practice, but you need to learn the proper coping skills along with taking the right medication. I still have breakthroughs where I literally hate myself and the rest of the world, but since I have learned the correct coping technique, I'm not in that funk as long.
