I speak five languages on a B+ level, but I think it's because of (hypo)mania. Anyone else?

I feel like languages is the only thing of value I've been able to pick up during my life (M25). I've spontanously moved to different countries to learn languages, but during my "low periods", I've been stuck in that country, still being forced to learn the language that my manic-self wanted to learn.

This pattern hasn't worked at all whenever I've been trying to work or study, because I just get fired, or realize when I've "overstayed my welcome", and quit before things go too badly.

Learning languages have been my escape, because when I'm in another country, it doesn't matter if I'm happy or not; I just have to learn the language at be able to function at all.
