I'm having so much trouble moving on from my job of 1.5 years. I know it's not a long time to work anywhere, really, but for me, it was the longest ever and I'm having a very hard time getting past it and staying at new jobs. I also keep applying for stuff that's easy to get out of desperation and wind up in the same place 2 weeks later. I want to go back to my job of 1.5 years and the reason I left was so bizarre, they got me to transfer then I reacted badly to the change and ended up never showing up again.

In the meantime I believe I have Bipolar II... suspected for years but now I know for sure, normal people don't have these "mood attacks" and suicidal thoughts keep coming up from stress etc. I know depression and anxiety are co-morbids to ASD I'm just wondering how to tell them apart from bipolar disorder.

Anyway, I'm venting, not sure what to ask for help on just wanting to get thoughts out. Thanks for reading! :)

I don't know if it's bipolar or ASD co-morbids, but it might be something to talk to a doctor about. Especially since it effected your employment. All you can do is take it as a learning experience. But I know trying to get a job sucks. I'm 43 with a Bachelor's Degree and experience, but no offers since my last fiasco. My work history is sketchy and I'm not young and perky anymore.

You are plenty perky :wink:

I'm young and perky, and I'm 53.
