Continuing on this thread from about two months ago.

I’m in better shape overall. I felt my career was going nowhere earlier this year. I’d just come off an intense 18 month manic episode, followed by a year of “going sideways,” i.e. stuck in a job that I hated and was far below my credentials and seniority.

Then I got reconnected with a long dormant passion of mine – foreign languages. I started taking a course at a local community college, absorbing Spanish wherever and whenever (i.e., listening to the radio, reading Spanish newspapers), and going to meetups with native speakers.

I then happened to go to a networking event that showcased entrepreneurs in the Latino space. I connected with one of them, and am now helping them out on a part time basis.

So this is all good. My fear? Intense Bipolar and ADHD. Because of the Bipolar, I find it hard to maintain levels of energy throughout the day. Usually mornings I am fairly engaged, but after lunch my energy dips precipitously. As a result, I get distracted by surfing the Web, cleaning the house, blog posting (i.e., on PsychCentral - :-) ).

I need to nip the ADHD in the bud. It’s killed my career many times in the past (my job history is super choppy), and will take me down once again if I’m not careful.

Any ideas out there for how to overcome Bipolar / ADHD?

Have a great day.
