This really speaks to me. I am bipolar too and have had 43 jobs since the age of 12 (I am 51) now.

My problem is connected to impulsivity too, however it is not so much based in boredom as it is anxiety. I fear not being worthy enough, feeling under pressure to produce and perform, and worry I am not doing a good enough job. The anxiety spirals out of control to the point I make myself physically sick and can't sleep. So I choose the Flight option and sabotage myself by quitting and moving on. The ironic thing is that I in fact do have a very high track record and do the jobs well enough to be rapidly promoted (which only increases the anxiety).
