I think one's baseline is one's 'real self;' not too much energy (or delusions, etc., etc.) and not putting on a false self when depressed to hide the fact that we're depressed. So we're all that we truly ARE warts and all, on a daily basis, including non-bipolar-related moods.
I'm pretty chill, except for my chronic anxiety, I exercise, and am relatively motivated to do what I need to do, including work. I can be irritable at times, but not to the point of verbally expressing it to others (usually). At baseline (and otherwise) my memory is terrible and I have some trouble focusing on things (reading, work, even TV). I sleep well. I'm reasonably content.
