Many here in the bipolar forum know that I'm in the midst of a major change in my life. That includes, preparations for a home sale and a move to another country where I must improve my Czech (and possibly future French) language skills. Plus other stuff (leaving family in the US, some culture shock, etc.)

I don't want this to be a place where I post daily updates or thoughts. Rather a place to address and share each others' strategies and experiences with major life changes. I do really need advice and/or encouragement and hope, whether it be coping skills, what not to do, or how you got past shock/mental health setbacks. Stories of your major life changes would be helpful to read, if you wish to share. I see this topic as very relevant to bipolar disorder since such major changes often trigger hypomanic/manic, mixed, and/or depressive episodes.
