How uncanny, I've always had problems staying focused compared to my family members and friends. It's just gotten worse since I had my first major manic episode two years ago...I tend to get carried away with lots of different ideas but end up accomplishing very few of them. At the time I thought I was being ambitious, not realising I was manic at the time.

Since I've been sick, I've moved back in with my parents and have almost completed my graduate degree. I break my goals into smaller pieces and keep a day planner to stay organised. I guess it helps that I'm a full time student and only have classes a few days a week. But on the days I'm depressed, I don't get much done. It's hard to stay focused when your moods/emotions are askew.

I'm starting to worry about returning to a 9 to 5 job after I graduate, and keeping my job. Much appreciate tips/advice on this.

Thanks and keep smiling, y'all!
