Fairly recently diagnosed with BPD. Just wondering if anyone else here is always doing the following, and if it's a part of the disorder: 

I'm always getting ideas, fads, and crazes that start with intense excitement and quickly dwindle. One moment I'm so excited to become good at something, like an instrument or skill, then a few days later I drop it. The same goes for plans for my future: for a while I'm set on moving abroad or starting a business, and spend all my free time thinking about it or planning. 

Most destructive of all: I'm always changing careers, to the point where I'm struggling to find a long term occupation because I lose all interest or hope of a future in what I'm doing.

So my question is, is this a common symptom of BPD? Any advice or useful anecdotes?
