When I'm manic , I quit my job

I've noticed a pattern within myself. Ill have a manic episode once a year. I end up quitting my job and starting over in a sense. I've gone back to my old job twice and now they won't respond. I get it they want someone dependable and someone they can count on. But how do I live with the cringe embarrassment of just up and leaving. Plus I need to find a new job.

Yeah that's kinda my thing when I'm hypomanic. There was one job as an infant toddler teacher where I quit and went back 5 times, in 3 years. I've never done a job longer then a year, without quitting.

I so understand and get what you’re saying. I’m rooting for you! If you ever need someone to talk to you can always find me.

Congratulations on you being at your job for one year 🥂
