UK in May 2021 = Permanently soaked........
I am a regular user of the 'smile anyway' method of endorphin production - I've been at it a very long time - its in the same self help department as 'fake it till you make it' body posture holding because the 'slump of depression' is not just metaphorical - I've been using the former of late to get wet dog walks off to a less demoralised start & it really helps.
Having Bipolar I have a tendency to easy excess Dopamine which makes me beam like a lighthouse too - its vital to cultivate the self awareness to know what that feels like, as its a pleasurable feeling state that, left unchecked becomes hyper-mania where my brain melts. Well worth avoiding as I like my brain. Bipolars who say they like being high generally mean lower level hyper mania I think, as the higher reaches become increasingly painful in nervous system irritation & OCD levels of drive &/or activity. Deeply distressing & very very damaging.
Treated with the very necessary & very good deal of respect, I can still have the high response vehicle I am without being destroyed by its wanton excesses & without needing to take mind & metabolism dulling pharmaceuticals. Thats the deal. Super self awareness & self management or death..... not even cake, well very rarely ......🎂
Self responsibility or debilitating brain injury - I'll have self responsibility please.......
