Im moving in a few months time, from France to Germany. I guess this is something that is stressful for anyone, but recently I have felt so stressed that I have been almost paralytic at work, unable to do the slightest thing because I have too much rushing around my head blocking me.

In fact I have been fairly organised. I have found a company to move my stuff (costs almost as much as the total value of my stuff, but the sentimental value is priceless), the place I will be working at over there will help me with finding a flat closer to the time and I have a rough idea of the many people I must phone and things. But the thought of all this is just overwhelming me to the extent that I cant concentrate on anything.

I dont know if I can stand 4 months more of this - and it will get worse not better as it gets closer to the time. Then even after that I have the challenge of settling into a strange location where I dont speak the language. New home, new job, new country, perhaps I am trying to take on too much at once.

Why are you moving to a country where you don't know the language? I would definatley get on that, if I were you.
But on the plus side, at least you've got things planned out well in advance. If you have people to help you move and find a place, even better. The more prepared you are, the less you'll fear the unknown. Good luck to you.
