Lately I just feel so emotionally drained and vulnerable. I cry at the drop of a hat and everything upsets me. Last night I cried until 3:30 in the morning because my mother accused me of not caring about my shower (because I didn't find out from FMIL who on her side fo the family was coming. Um, I thought that wasn't my job). I'm tired and I just don't care anymore. And I just feel really down. I'm not excited about my shower, especially since my mother is giving me trouble about it. I just feel like I'm crazy because I'm sad all the time lately.

Re: Anyone else feel this way?
I think it is all part of the planning and stuff. I have cried more since I have been doing this wedding planning stuff than I have my whole life it seems.
People always say you have time which is so completely not true!!!! Time goes fast period. Keep your head up it will all be over soon

Re: Anyone else feel this way?
Absolutely. I never cried so much over BS and the dumbest things until this ring was put on my finger. If you would have asked my friends if I can cry at the drop of a hat before, they would have told you no way, that it takes a mountain to move me to tears. Now I can start crying over a telephone commercial!!
It's stress and being tired. Tired of the BS, tired of dealing with everything, tired of saving, tired of not being able to go out to dinner and buy things like you used to before the engagement. It's stress from family members, friends and co-workers who don't get it.
It will get better, I promise. I have had more than my own share of BS this entire time, but I can safely say it should be all smooth sailing from here on out. And if not, then oh well, I'm at the point where I just don't care what happens anymore!! And trust me, you will reach this point, too!!

Re: Anyone else feel this way?
I am sorry you are feeling like this!!! This is a very emotional time for brides and grooms, so it is only natural to feel like this sometimes. But just remember, in the end you are marring your best friend and the 2 of you will live happily ever after!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will get through it and your day will be so perfect!

Re: Anyone else feel this way?
i can completely relate to what you are going through. Last week i was really down about my shower, because i had to help my mom plan most of it myself. I even had to make up my own invitations :( it was very emotional for me to realize my shower was not going to be what i thought it was going to be.... but then those feelings passed. I mailed out the shower invites, and it has been fun getting all the yes responses in the mail... and gifts coming off the registry...
these sad feelings will pass... it is mostly b/c you are getting stressed from time passing so quickly and now all of sudden you have to get all the little details done. But i totally now where u are coming from; feel free to vent anytime!

Planning a wedding is emotionally draining, so it is only natural to feel this way! And your mom should be asking your FMIL, not you! Feel better :)
I agree. It is a very emotional time not to mention stressful. People just don't realize how overwhelming things can get and don't realize that they add to the stress sometimes. I think that what you are feeling is quite normal. I have my occasional meltdowns and mood swings. Hang in there
