Hi All,
I am a 33 yr old female with severe ADHD and history of major depression and anxiety disorder which went away for a few years. I have awful problems due to personal painful story which caused me a lot of pain and suffering and also terrible employment problems (I am a manager in the IT field). After several years i finally decided and got the chance to relocate to Germany for good. It has always been a dream and I know the country since 2001 and spent my every free day in it BUT, my move is due on 30.09 , my flight is at 6 am and i am becoming hysterical about everything I do while preparing to move. I have mood swings, insomnia and even panic attacks. I have a loving and amazing partner with whom I have an amazing relationship (He is ADD diagnosed btw) but I still freak out and fear and behave abnormally as if i am bipolar....I drive him crazy, say negative things, become aggressive and isolate....I even had a thought of canceling the whole thing which is insane because after a proper sleep i knew it was not what I wanted. Can anyone share similar stories? Am i going crazy? Thanks in advance!

Hi Alexa19, you're not going crazy. A lot of mental health issues are co-morbid. Can you bring it up to a Therapist or Pdoc? That would be a good place to start. Maybe they can determine if you still have an anxiety disorder and or mood disorder. I hope things improve for you!
-Take care,

Have you looked into PTSD or Borderline Personality Disorder? You mention bipolar, but while bipolar episodes can certainly be triggered by stress, PTSD and BPD are more reactive to outside events, especially with a history of a "personal painful story". A lot of people throw the idea of bipolar around when they are moody, but bipolar is so much more than moody.
None of us are doctors, so it would be best to talk to one - but I think it's absolutely reasonable that the stress of the move could be reactivating your anxiety disorder.

Theatrekid is right.
But I will point out one thing, a lot of people, I've read some statistics which say as many as 80 percent of people, with panic disorder are also bipolar. The mood swings, insomnia, and panic attacks sure sound familiar.....
