Anyone else feeling overwhelmed???

ok...so im nearing the one month mark and up to this point i've been pretty relaxed....

the past week i've been feeling really really stressed about all of the little things that have to get done....there are just not enough hours in the day. and to top it off i have a million parties to go to this month!!!! ahhhh....please tell me im not alone here.

you are so not alone!!!

everyone hits the wall at one point or another. I hit it at about 3 months out and you hit it now!

it is a feeling that will pass and you'll be okay! the best way to alleviate any pressure is to make yourself a list of the things that need to be done.

Check them off as you do them...it will really make you feel better as you earn your checkmarks...

very true....i made a checklist tonight and it was TWO pages long lol....I think that might be what started the stress oh and writing a check for $10,000 too....i think that helped! hahah

I am feeling overwhelmed, but not from the wedding. I actually wish my life would slow down so I could work on the wedding more. For example, right now my slacker 14 year old is finishing his english paper and I have to wait up with him. I get up for work at 4:30!

Planning a wedding is a breeze compared to having teenagers.

I need a drink!

Okay - first things first....a 10,000 check is MAJOR, however be proud that you had the money. That is a HUGE accomplishment.

Yes - a 2 page list would make anyone freak....however, think that if this were 2 months ago - it may've had 60 things on it!!! You have come far and you will continue to check things off!

Leslie,

I'm right there with ya! I can hardly focus on anything --- I just keep thinking about this humongous list I have! I just dont' know how I'm going to find the time to do everything!

I'm just trying my best to focus on one thing at a time instead of the big picture. So far that strategy is working... kinda.

Feel free to FM me if you wanna vent!

I totally am feeling this way! This past Friday night I went to the hospital because I was having bad chest pains...and they told me it was stress. I have to consciously tell myself that everything is going to work out. It will get better!

i have 11 days and i dont feel like finishing all the stuff i have left

Oh I am with you. I was actually going to post something like this. I think it is because it's the one month mark. Throughout the whole planning process I was okay up until now it has been real overwhelming with projects etc. I don't even have time to hang out with FH and we live together. Anyway just take a deep breath and try to set goals for this month. Even though I have a checklist I have been breaking it down for weekly things to do. I want to enjoy my last week before I get married!

to you!
