I've been going outside more and walking more to increase my happiness. I'm enjoying it. I often see neighbors out with their dogs, so that's a little socialization, too. Still struggling with the Coke Zero habit though. When thoughts of shameful things i did while hypomanic attack me i fight back with, "I am a good person who sometimes has bad judgement due to bipolar." Diabetics sometimes have bad judgement if their sugars get out of whack. I don't think they are "stupid idiots." It's the same thing.

Hugs all around!
