My suggestion would be if you start becoming anxious would be to take a walk and just breathe deeply. Walking is a great way to relieve stress!

maybe you could try yoga or another form of exercise that emphasizes deep breathing. i've heard it works!

Well, for a split second a couple of weeks ago, I started thinking about walking down the aisle and my heart started racing and I got a little dizzy...I hope it is not a sign of whats to come!!!!!

The anxiety comes and goes. Just deal with it and then it passes. Last week I was a royal biatch, but for some reason a calm came over me this week and I've been fine. I know all of the major things are taken care of, and if I have to skip some of the small things I have planned then it's not the end of the world. I think when you stress, just remind yourself that no matter what, your wedding is going to be amazing. I also find that naps help! lol!

I also have anxiety. I get very nervous and my stomach acts up. Hopefully this will not happen on my wedding day

I am the same way. Not to be gross but I am getting the Imodium ready.
I am trying to think of the last minute stuff instead of walking down the aisle and dancing since it makes me very nervous.

I still have a little less than a year to go, but I'm constantly getting stressed and feeling anxious! I'm just praying that with each thing I get done, I will become calmer... so far it isn't working... I don't know what I'm going to do next aug!

Re: any brides with anxiety

I had a mini anxiety attack the last weekend, when I realized how close everything was. I started to think that was so much to do ( sooo un true, everything is almost done) and then I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill and felt much better.
If I do this everytime I feel this way, if nothing else maybe I will lose a couple of pounds

Re: any brides with anxiety

ANXIETY....i feel it almost every minute of the day now...what i have to do, what i didn't do, what i need to do! It has gotten 100% worse this past month but i have to say a year ago i was fine..

I have been walking with my dog and friends. But really the best way is to talk to someone BUT NOT ABOUT THE WEDDING!
