Do you handle wedding stress differently than you always used to handle stress?
It's not that I DON'T have work to do, it's just that I don't want to do it....
Ok, so I've noticed that since I've been engaged, I have handled stress (and excitement) with decreased apetite and increased insomnia. Never before have I had trouble sleeping...and certainly not eating! I mean, I'm not complaining b/c it'll help me loose weight for the big day, but it's just so bizzarre b/c I've never been like this before. (BTW--by wedding stress, I pretty much mean the hugest inter- and intra-family disputes ever.)

As you may recall, I spent the 8 months before my wedding covered in hives of unknown cause, and they went away half way through the honeymoon. Can we say repressed stress??!

Is it that the stress was repressed before you were wedding-planning and you channelled all the stress you were repressing into wedding-related issues? or is it that you were repressing the wedding-related stress itself?

I just had to read that 4 times over! I think it was a combo of school related stress, wedding planning stress, and mostly stress about actually getting married...but who knows?

For me, I seem to be pushing it aside. Other than going on this website and looking at posts, I don't really think about the wedding that much. I guess it is my brains way of protecting itself from the stress!!!! Oh, and the nightmares are unreal!!!!

Re: Do you handle wedding stress differently than you always used to handle stress?
The opposite has happened to me. I have put weight on and all I want to do is sleep. I need to break myself of this quick! I just don't know how. I am a little depressed,too. My fiance thinks I'm crazy for thinking I am gaining weight, but all guys say that just to shut us up. Can anyone help me please???
