Flu or Stress???

My body feels weak, like I get winded if I get up and walk to the bathroom.

It could be stress, because I am ready to put my family through the wall if they don't leave my reception ideas alone.

But I am also congested, and every bone in my body feels like it's going to break in half.

On a lighter note, plans for my Bparty are under way. I cannot wait for Lips.

It might be stress- You really need a down day - a day just for yourself with no planning or family issues. Take a day off and just spend it decompressing- watch some lifetime movies - take a bath- just relax. If you are still feeling like this after I would go see the dr.

Hope you are feeling better

It is probably stress, can you just take a day to your self and do something fun that's non-wedding related? Things have calmed down a bit for me, but in the early planning stages I was so stressed and worn out that I got strep throat!!!

I love lifetime movies lol. I never get to see them on tv, hulu.com has a few. I took a half day yesterday, came home, made soup and watched TV (until my soaps were interrupted with a news brief about the LIRR...boo).

what's throwing me off is the congestion....I haven't cried or anything.

Sometimes taking a break from wedding planning for a few days is a good thing... no google searching for the perfect whatever, no LIW... I think we've all taken a break at some point.

ETA: If you have congestion then it's probably a cold... although I guess stress manifests differently in everyone.

This is what my doc asked me when I had the flu..
'Do you feel like you got ran over by a bus'. If yes, go to the doc and see if he can give you meds. If no then try and relax cuz you'll end up making yourself sick.

I think its a cold of sorts..I woke yesterday feeling the same as you congestion, body ache, nausea, high temperature, no appetite.
I called in sick and stayed in all day.
Today I feel the same and went in to work.
Stress is probably making your body weak and susceptible to illness.
