I feel anxious and get panic attacts on a plane.
I feel anxious like I want to run away when my boyfriend gets to close to me or tells me he loves me
When he distances himself I need him more.
I don't want to go to work at times
I don't feel like I am good enough for any man.
I don't feel secure within myself.
I always want to know what people think
I cry alot
I lost my mother when I was 14
I live in a city with no friends
Why can't I just make myself to just go out there and do things?
I feel alone even though people like me
I have mood swings.
SO what do you think?

I would say you are depressed with an anxiety disorder as well. I have the same thing, and everything you listed described me. I went on meds and now i'm much better. Go to a doctor fast! I'm on zoloft and it works great, but there are tons of other meds out there, and a doctor can perscribe the one that's best for you.

Does it seem like you are acting in a way differently from other people? Are your symptoms interfering with other aspects of your life (friendships, relationships, jobs/school)? Are your symptoms upsetting you? Is any of your behavior dangerous to yourself or others?
If you answered "yes" to two or more of these questions (which it seems like you would), then you most likely have some sort of problem and should seek some help from a professional. I believe that you have generalized anxiety disorder as well as depression. I do not believe (from what you have written) that you have bipolar disorder--you did not describe anything that would be considered part of a manic episode. Perhaps you can check out the DSM-IV-TR online--it lists the symptoms and some other things about mental disorders.
I wish you luck and I think you would be helped by getting some professional help :)

Some will say you're bipolar, but these things can mean you're emotionally immature in some ways, or insecure in some situations, like you say. You didn't say a bunch of bipolar stuff! :) So relax. Don't go making diagnoses of yourself. It'll only make you feel down. See a counselor or your doc if you like, but be careful coz only a couple hospitals in this country have forbidden docs from accepting gifts or giving out stuff given to them by pharmaceutical companies...so you know what that means....
You seem pretty bright and aware. A good counselor could help show you where your thoughts start to veer off on those less than great times. Good luck, and I mean that. You sound like you'll be fine.

You have seperation issues. If you lost your mother at 14, then you are afraid to get too close or to lose someone else. That is the age when you need your parents the most! You have 2 choices,
1. go to a counselor or a group session, I don't think you are "nuts" because you realize your problems.
2. cowgirl up and face your fears and tough it out and see if you can beat it on your own
Most of what you said is a typical Woman!! heh heh

Maybe neurotic. I think you should seek some counseling with a psychologist, at least. You may have more than one problem. See a psychiatrist and he is going to decide which medication to prescribe.
You should sort out your thoughts and feelings with a counselor. If he thinks you should see a psychiatrist, he can recommend it.
Try to get yourself together, and don't give up. God bless you.

Get into the Word of God and take Comfort in Christ. Start out reading the Psalms, they are very life affirming verses. Sounds like you really need to know what He thinks of you right now and the Psalms will tell you.
Just remember "God has not given you the spirit of fear; but of sound mind and body."
"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil for thou art with me." 23rd Psalm

It sounds like you need to talk with someone such as a counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist.
You're afraid to get close to others because you might lose them as you have in the past. This can lead to a whole range of different emotions.

not what others may want from you, god bless and good luck.

sounds like a moody women who over analyzes herself instead of forcing her self to do things like...
no friends find a grp like a book club or whatever and share something in common and you might find a friend
don't want to go to work who the hell does
boyfriends to close/not close enough that is just a women thing :)
work on the self esteem tell yourself you can do it watch or read self help books men love women of all shapes sizes colors some one is good enough for you and you are good enough for them
I am really sorry about the loss of your ma..... that does have lingering affects I am sure
