Hi, @amberpep - something you said here really reminded me of something that @jimhd has said before, the part where you said, "My 'high' isn't 'high' at all ….. it's what other people would call 'normal.' I don't remember feeling really happy in many a years."

I thought jimhd might have some thoughts on what you shared.

Hoping that @healthytoday @renwald @artscaping @tngbell @sdixon @mrser52 will also return and comment on whether they feel they have experienced being really happy anytime recently and whether they believe their "high" mood is the same as for others they know.

Also, amberpep - that is a lot of journaling! So, how would you say this practice helped you in managing your bipolar 2?

@lisalucier, @amberpep, Happiness......is my middle name lately. I love my home on the river. I am happy feeding and petting my chipmunks and watching the migratory birds. The predators, eagles, hawks, and owls, are always around. At any time and from many places within Adam's Landing, I am happy just to swing in the swing or walk along the meditation trail. I am so happy with my activities, my friends, my volunteer work. There are games to be played, mother nature to watch and to top it off, a few pain-free minutes. May you all have happiness and the causes of happiness. Chris
