Iβve thrown myself into competitive powerlifting and my bipolar disorder has been stable for like three years. The exercise can be tough but it really levels me out.

For me, it was running and reducing alcohol to very moderate levels. I'm at the point now that I crave a run to clear my mind and lower my stress. I rarely ever feel depressed anymore. Total game changer for me.
Aquariums
Fishing. Itβs outside, you get to meet interesting persons, there is a collection side in it and you can reach modest goals which is doing a lot of good.
Go for a bike ride.
If you can afford it, I highly recommend getting an ebike. It can open up a larger range where you can travel if you aren't in the best of shape.
