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.

Juggle. You must have 3 similar ball shaped items around the house. There's lots of tutorials online. You get your blood feeling, body moving. Such a nice rush when you finally get that new pattern or trick you were working on.
Rollerskating. I started rollerskating last year. Not only is it fun... But it's also great cardio. I was overweight and lost 50 pounds. I don't snore anymore. I don't have high blood pressure anymore. And it's stimulating mentally every time you learn a new move. Not to mention you meet some great people with cool vibes.
Ride a bike. You get exercise, sunlight, cheap transportation, thrills/adventure, and good feelings, it's a win win
And if possible, find a local social bicycling group near you. Adds even more benefits when you are riding with a group
Aquariums
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.
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.
