I am type II bipolar and have problems with my interests constantly shifting. One week I am into philosophy, then photography, and then I am going to be an ultra endurance runner. And a week later I´m back to philosophy, and around and round it goes.

This is causing me a lot of problems, since it is not just limited to leisure activities, but also happens in areas where it becomes disruptive to my mental health and daily living (professional goals, values, life philosophy, mental health strategies etc), and it is also making my identity highly unstable.

I guess that to some degree this is a bit of a hallmark of BD, and a quick google search tells me that I am certainly not alone in this. Google was however not able to give me much actionable advice on what to do about it.

So, has anyone here struggled with the same issue and found any strategies for dealing with it?
