I cried this morning...

I cried this morning...

I couldn't believe it. I literally had a breakdown right in front of my mom on the kitchen floor this morning. I can't do this anymore. How do you do it? How do you balance work, wedding planning , and house hunting? I had to take this entire week off from work just to work on invites and go house hunting. We actually put in an offer yesterday and I couldn't sleep all night. Over and over in my head, I'm going through numbers after numbers after numbers. I feel so sick to my stomach. Less than 5 months to my wedding day and I can not wait for this to be over.

Re: I cried this morning...

It is a lot of stress which is predominatly why my fh and I chose to wait until after the wedding to buy a house, that and financial reasons.

But if you have to do it all at the same time I suggest working out or yoga or pilates, it really is good for stress and there is no way to make the process not stressful, you just have to learn how to handle the stress properly.

Also this site is great b/c so many people are in the same situations and its nice to have people to talk to that understand what you are going through

Good luck and remember everything will be okay

Re: I cried this morning...

Awwhhh I am sorry! I had a breakdown yesterday. Driving home from work i have like a 40 minute drive,and i just started balling. I couldnt stop myself form crying. I know how you feel. The stress of everything is killing me. I think i nedd a vaca!! I know it will get better, but i feel like you i just wish it was over with sometimes.

Re: I cried this morning...

You have time just take it one day at a time. Im sorry you feel overwhelhmed. Its alot of things for a person to do. Maybe you can get someone to help you so you dont feel so overwhelmed.
Good luck house hunting Its gonna get better the closer we get

Re: I cried this morning...

i am so sorry you are feeling like this right now

i know that the work/wedding/family life can be a b#!ch to balance, but try to prioritize YOU a little. take one day and just center it around something for yourself, let the worries and planning go for 24 hours and you will feel better.

Re: I cried this morning...

lol I don't do it, I do the same thing as you, cry and occasionally pass out. I haven't found a way to handle my stress yet, on top of work, house hunting and wedding planning I also go to school and am fulfilling a required internship for my program. It is really difficult

Re: I cried this morning...

i feel the same exact way....so right now im concentrating more on the wedding than the house...i figure when we find the one we want, we'll know, and it will work itself out!

Re: I cried this morning...

Yes.....we are all just beginning to learn how to succeed at the balancing act. It will get more difficult when our lives as married women progress....but fortunately, we'll be better at dealing with it..due to all this practice. I HATE wedding planning or I HATE my job. I have not been happy with both at the same time since my engagement. It's so much stress and despite the fact that I don't want to obsess about details....I am. I am freaking out about the embossment on a freaking invite, or the fact that the jewelry must be set in a white gold setting instead of a yellow, or wondering which will go better with my ceremony decor: honeysuckle vines or coiled twig ....I mean...am I kidding? WHO F'ing cares? Then try to get me to be productive at work. I give a half-a**ed attempt, but I'm not really there. And when people come to me with their problems I want to scream at them...'Can't you f'ing see that I'm in the middle of deciding between fondant or buttercream.....I NEED MY PRIVACY!!!'... So, yes....I feel your breakdowns....I'm sorry that you had one on your kitchen floor. But at least you could've crawled over to the fridge when you were done and snuck out a piece of chocolate or something!!!! Sometimes you just have to cry before you can move on....and that's O.K.... Enjoy the rest of your day!!!!

Re: I cried this morning...

Thank you guys for the reassurance. I knew that you all would fully understand. I just wish it wasn't so much at one time to deal with.

Re: I cried this morning...

When I put an offer in on a house I did the SAME THING!! AND we are closing TOMORROW!!! I know we can afford it, but I am still freaking out about money.. and i keep getting hounded to plan the limos or we wont have any.. but I just want to get past writing my life away in checks tomorrow!!! It does get better.. at first, I was so sad about moving into the house, living with minimum amounts of money.. but now.. i cant wait for the experience with FH!!

I know exactly how you feel!! Working, Planning the wedding and HOUSE HUNTING!!! We also put an offer in on a house yesterday. What's really stressing me out is MONEY!!!! How do you put all this money down on a house AND hope that you have enough to pay for the wedding. Most importantly the RH's last payment!!! IM STRESSING BIG TIME ABOUT THAT TOO.
I too didn't sleep last night!!!! Wow, it's funny we are totally going through the same exact thing at the same time!!!! It feels better knowing someone else is in the same situation!!!

Be strong.. we'll get through this!!!!

Re: I cried this morning...

sometimes the happiest times in your life are also the most stressful- i think how you feel is totally natural- maybe you just need to take a day to do something just for you- a day at the spa, shopping, whatever it is just to kick back and relax- even if its a weekend away- my friends and i usually go up to mohehan for a weekend when one of us is feeling like this- its amazing how a little time away, really renews you- but hang in there- it will get better

Re: I cried this morning...

Book a massage woman!!! That reminds me.... I have to call to book mine. Best $100 you'll ever spend in the next 5 months! Do it once a month if you have to!

Re: I cried this morning...

I did the same thing the other day and FH couldn't understand why I'm so stressed and keeps telling me the same thing everything will work out, although I know it will i can't help but be stressed about it!. We are in contract to sell our place and are buying my parents house and its all going to happen about 2 weeks before the wedding so I know how you feel. I think sometimes crying actually helps (at least for me) cause then your letting it out, I have a bad habit of holding it all inside instead of talking about it. Be sure to take at least a day this week your off and spend it relaxing!!!

Re: I cried this morning...

I know exactly how you feel, FH and I are working on buying land to eventually build a home on. It is rough!

Re: I cried this morning...

we all go through it sometimes. just remember to breathe!! Try asking your BP for some help whenever u can and do one thing at a time. (i should listen to my own advice). we're here for you!
