Comorbidity with Bipolar

I'm not sure which Bipolar I have; it's the one where you make an on-the-spot decision to leave everything behind.

It affects my spending habits, especially now as everything's so dear, and I lose patience easily. I feel that 'take your time' is mandated; in our society.

It interconnects with my Asperger's, due to the feelings of failure and unworthiness; compare-and-despair. Just this evening, I had my woodburner going; but the last log to fit in was too big. I ended up being unable to close the door properly. I believe that the sidebar could be warped; caused by a rogue flame. Probably just needs a hammer.

I'm fortunate to keep myself to myself. But everyone in my village knows where I live, and about Hope.

    I'm not sure whether there was an implied question in the title, so I'll mention this just in case there was. In respect of comorbidity with autism, the NAS says:

    "We do not know how many autistic people have bipolar disorder. Some studies estimate between 5 and 7%, compared with an estimated rate of 1% in the general population. More research is needed."
