Has anyone noticed....

If they have felt their stress/nerves/anxiety increase since its been '08? I dont know if its because its our year and i have this list of things i know i need to get done and have only 8 months to do it.....

We are also in the middle of moving so there is def a lot going on, but lately i just feel like I cant breathe.

Is anyone else noticing this and is anyone taking any anti-anxiety medicine? Does it work?

Yes definitely!!! i have 4 months left with quite a few things left to do. This weekend i was stressing badly about things getting done and it was driving me nuts. Theres 2 big things i really need to get done and i already dealt with and it will get done soon so that is a HUGE relief. FH and i talked alot about things getting done, and this week he is calling a couple of our vendors to make more payments, our last one until two weeks before the wedding well not dj bc thats day of you pay the balance. I am also gonna get my flower samples. Its a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Still other things to stress hahaha but much better

No i don't take meds, i never have for anything like that. I have horrible reactions to alot of things.

Thats awesome that youve made most of your payments. FH and I have been really stressing about that. We would rather make smaller payments from not up until the wedding rather then be hit for everything all at once.

Do most vendors let you do that other then the RH

Im not really thrilled with the idea of meds, maybe yoga or pilates or something. I just need something that is going to help me relax a little.

I actually feel less stressed since the holidays are over and happier now that 08 is here and can get on with the planning process.

well we've had to with most of them hahahaha, thats how they want it. With my RH they set up a payment plan and i have to pay them every 2 or 3 months. SOme of my vendors i had to do the same thing, well most of them actually. We had a deposit and either 1 or 2 installments during and then last day to pay off the balance. FH Has to call our dj today to pay 1/3 of it bc we got a bill...The rest we have to do soon so we'll just do it now.

Yeah maybe some quiet, relaxing time for yourself.

Re: Has anyone noticed....

yea my anxiety level went waaaay up- because we are 9 months from the wedding & i have virtually nothing done- fh & i had a big fight this weekend over it- because he never asks what he can do to help- its not that he wont help, he's just one of those guys, you ask, he'll pitch in- but otherwise is content to watch football on the couch while i clean around him arghhh! anyway, so long answer but definite yes!

Re: Has anyone noticed....

Yup I've felt it. I still have a long way to go but since its OUR year, ive found myself stressing about money and of all things booking the honeymoon

I'm not taking medication, but I definitely noticed since it became 2008 that my anxiety level is way up. Feel like I'm not being productive enough.

It will all work out though. It always does.

Oh and IT'S OUR YEAR! YAY!

Re: Has anyone noticed....

I started getting back into the groove right after christmas. I gave myself a two month break really on any planning, and once christmas was over I started thinking about it since I had no more shopping to do, decorating, etc. I have been stressing big time over the honeymoon - we know what we want to do but trying to find a place where we can do it - and also thinking about the minister (need one!). My brain has been on the wedding (and on our savings) non stop since dec 30! :)

Oh my god! Im in the middle of doing that now!!!! We are booking it ourselves and we booked the flights like last month and i am doing the hotels today ( we needed our bonus' to clear)

We have been arguing about money a lot lately! We are moving back to Manhattan in two weeks and with the wedding its just been a little draining on the funds.
