At home with no structure or guidance to focus me, my symptoms blossom.

I have been underestimating this aspect of my life. When I worker for a company, structure was in place for me. I did fine except for some segments of hypomania and depression. Later when I worked for myself, there was no structure. This is when my symptoms blossomed and went out of control. I was fired from the last two projects I had as a consultant. What a nightmare that was for me.
PS: It has been my experience that I cannot turn off and on my depression or true hypomania.
