I just play against the AI set really low so i win every game and don't get angry.
It was a rare cool Summer day here and i went out with no hat for the first time in months. I shaved my head in Winter when i got mad at it and it grows super slow. Now it looks like i just have a far-too-short haircut, but it's not horrifying like it was.
Glad you're feeling good @ Blueberrybook and it sounds like you're doing what you can to keep a lid on it and not let it get out of control. When i'm hypomanic i also try hard to modulate my mood but after a certain point i just don't care, it's such a relief to feel good for once. Hope you can avoid that fate.

I'm sorry you are dealing with depression, even mild depression and being a bit of a recluse. I am too, mostly. Back when you were playing competitive Scrabble, it sounded like you had fun at first and then were stressed about it.
I think my mood is starting to moderate. Still up from where I was, but a week ago H said I was out of control and when pdoc said he'd see how I was doing in a week, H told me he wasn't sure I could make it that long.
