What makes you happy no matter what mood you're in? Surely there's something that makes you happy during mania/normal mood states and at least lightens your mood when you're depressed or mixed.

For me, I feel better when I'm able to watch a movie on Netflix by myself. I don't mind watching with other people, but I like having my "me time".

I have to have "me time." Just have to!

It's the only way I can stay in balance and some "me time" is very healthy, by the way!

Being completely alone (by choice) -- I'm an introvert and I like to be with other people, but it exhausts me. Between work and school and (at the moment) living with my parents, I am constantly surrounded by other people so when I'm by my self it's like a breath of fresh air
Also: ice cream, Beyonce, and an episode of Parks and Rec!

Nope, there's nothing that makes me happy when I'm depressed.

Even though I'm not really too happy during depressions, my cat makes things better, as does music, and a warm shower, takes my mind off things for a little bit at least...

Swings.

Swings make me happy.

If only there was a park nearby... Oh yeah. I live out in the ****ing middle of nowhere now so there's just cornfields all around. Maybe I could walk through a ****ing cornfield and that'll make happy.

Swimming in the sea, but that's not something I do often so it would not always match my mood episodes.
Computer game that allowes to immerse and forget about everything
A movie.
A good book, if I'm not too depressed to not be able to concentrate on reading

Winning money at the casino or on a lotto ticket. Even in my deepest depression that makes me happy for at least a minute.
