Feeling Stressed Out and Unmotivated - Wedding is 10 days away

I am 10 days away from getting married and feeling so darn stressed out with preparing for this wedding and my job. I feel as if I have a lot left to do and organize. I am also not feeling very motivated to do any of it. As happy as I am getting married, I honestly can't wait to get it over with.
For the last month or so, preparing for this wedding has taken over much of my life - and I am just kind of tired of it.

I don't think I should feel this way about it...but I do. I am also thinking...should I quit my job? (This doesn't make sense because i would have to give 2 weeks and my wedding is next week).

KRIKEES!?!?!?!?

I can't wait to just be on my way to my honeymoon!

Thanks for reading/listening. I just needed to get that off my chest.

I'm just starting to feel this way. I even have a cold now, so I definitely don't want to do anything for the wedding.

Just relax a bit and take a few breaths. Maybe you should just go over a check list tonight to see what else needs to be done. Then take a couple of nights off from wedding planning. I'm sure it can wait for the weekend.

I wouldn't quit your job until after you get married. You're really stressed now, so don't make a decision until after the wedding.

Here are a few hugs for you

You can handle one more week of work!!! You can do it!!! As far as getting things done, I took 2 weeks off cause I started to hate doing wedding related things. But if you are like me, procrastination is my middle name!!!!! It will all get done. I have yet to read a review where a bride has forgotten anything major!

Re: Feeling Stressed Out and Unmotivated - Wedding is 10 days away

I understand completely...but i think as it gets closer (i am three days away now) it gets better. you will get everything done, and then realize it is HERE! i was SO stressed for the past 3 weeks or so....it'll all be OK :)

Re: Feeling Stressed Out and Unmotivated - Wedding is 10 days away

Don't worry I am going through the same thing of having alittle over a week to do everything. My last day of work is Friday so I can finish some last minute things. Another thing I am stressed is work becasue I wonder if my work will be somewhat touched while I am gone. But found out today it will be so that is alittle relief.

But as you said I can't wait for the honeymoon and get away from it all. So dont worry it will all be ok

Re: Feeling Stressed Out and Unmotivated - Wedding is 10 days away

I totally understand why you feel like this. It's been a long haul getting to where you are today (10 days away)...so much effort, so much emotion, so much stress. You've had enough. Now, it's just about time to sit back and enjoy the moment.
Believe me as much as I LOVED wedding planning in the beginning...I have to say I'm pretty much over it. I'm so ready for life (and my financial shape) to go back to normal.

Hey date twin I feel the EXACT same way so I can't really offer up any solid advice, but I can say that you are not ALONE with how you feel. I am sick of this whole process, its insane

Re: Feeling Stressed Out and Unmotivated - Wedding is 10 days away

no worries date twin!! I think we're all feeling a little crazed right now! hang in there Lisa!! you'll find your motivation! are you taking a few days off from work next week? I think that's my saving grace right now, that I took all next week off (well b/c I have family that will be here, but also b/c I need to get a lot of last minute stuff done, like um, maybe get our marriage license!!!

Funny I lost my job in April I am almost done. Any ladies need some running around done, I'm up for hire.

Re: Feeling Stressed Out and Unmotivated - Wedding is 10 days away

Thanks for posting - seeing you are feeling the same way made me feel better!

I keep swinging from super motivated and excited to 'I don't even want to go to my wedding - I don't want to do another thing for it.' I just want to be a stable person again!
