I am 24 years old and for my whole life, I have had constant consistency issues with my life. At school I was a brilliant student but could NEVER stay consistent. At work I'm eager to please everyone, maybe too much but wouldn't even go to work sometimes because, " I don't feel like it.

I've also had shifting moods constantly in my life. I've told myself I'm just lazy but everytime I try, I can never pull through. I read about manic depression and I was just wondering if the symptoms fit the diagnosis.
