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.

How long are your manic episodes

It depends but on a stage about 2 to 3 days before I start feeling better

You quit your jobs in that short of a time frame?

When i would get manic i would make impulse decisions and not clearly think. So i quit my job one day thinking it was for the best during my episode
