I agree with the others, and I agree you should get him into his pdoc or T since you've said it's already three weeks.

As for the relationship, you said it was already stressful and unhappy. So even if it was a "manic" decision to end it, that possibly was a correct desicion. Stressful and unhappy relationships can trigger both mania and depression.

As for the job, well, I quit multiple jobs during mania. The longest job I held previouly (and this was before diagnosis,) was six months. My current job I've held for five years now, and even in manic and mixed moments I have been able to keep myself from quitting randomly, which hasn't been easy. But I have other driving factors as well at this time.

What happened for me as a consequence of "job hopping," as people call it, is it made it much harder for me to get a job. Even retail and fast food jobs get nervous when they see you have only been one to two months at ever previous job, then have big holes in your job history as well.

And every time, I thought I had a perfectly logical explanation to why quitting was a smart move.

But, I have to say that it's not the end of the world. Life does go on.
