I think I am developing OCD

I think I am developing OCD

And I'm not even trying to be funny right now. The past 2 weeks I have not been able to fall asleep till after midnight (usually sleeping by 10) the reason is b/c I think about the wedding, I cant stop, I think about details that dont have to be thought about for a year. Last night it was my hair, and I spent all day today inbetween teaching getting in touch w/ Hair Genie (Jen) to book my date just incase someone wanted to get to her first. I feel like I cant get my mind on anything else. Please tell me this is happening to some of you.

Re: I think I am developing OCD

Definately.. I am with you! Sometimes lie awake thinking 'Stop thinking about thinking...' I told FH last night.. he was so cute.. but I guess he doesn't understand.

Re: I think I am developing OCD

I don't feel like that just when I am trying to sleep. I feel like that during the day. I feel terribly behind even though I have over a year to plan. Besides planning, I am looking to move to Long Island, buy a house and for a new job. Plenty of things to keep me up worrying at night!

Re: I think I am developing OCD

Jess...it's not only you...I think we are all feeling the same way!!!!! Don't worry!!!

Re: I think I am developing OCD

Thanks. I just started feeling like this lately with my engagement party coming up and because my portfolio for my Master's is due in two weeks. I need to slow down and take a breath!

Re: I think I am developing OCD

OH GOOD! i thought i was crazy!!! i thrash around in my bed thinking about dresses and hair styles...it's insane. and i try to remind myself that i have plenty of time, but im just excited and i guess my mind is restless. i'm glad it's not just me!! we are CA-RAAAAAZY!!!

Hi Jess,
I hear you, I feel the same way. Have you tried keeping a journal? Seriously. I think part of the reason why we trash around at night with the same running thoughts is because we're afraid we might forget or overlook something (i know that's what I'M afraid of LOL). Give it a shot. Get a pretty book or even a simple Composition book and keep it by your bed and when it's time to curl up, give youself at least 5 minutes to jot down everything that's on your mind, even if they aren't coherent sentences, or just random fragments, or how much your MOH ticked you off that day, or even if it turns into a 10 page rant about how much you hate plaid and how you want it NO WHERE within a 6.5-mile radius of you on your wedding day. But at least this way you can get some of it out of your head and hopefully it'll let you sleep better. Then the next day, look at what you wrote the night before and highlight what's REALLY important that you remember, this way you can eliminate the other random miscellaneous bi-polar psychosis that comes with planning this Party of A Lifetime :)

Good luck and sleep well!
Jesi

Re: I think I am developing OCD

i definately hear you!! everything is wedding!! but word of caution..i read in cosmo last month that if you let wedding planning totally consume your life you are more likely to get depressed after the weddding is over

Re: I think I am developing OCD

Re: I think I am developing OCD

I talk about it at work, every night to my mom over the phone, with FH when he gets home from work, in emails, on this site! and I dream about it!!! AHHHHH, I'm just worried all this planning and it will be a letdown like no one will come or someone will fight or more than ten people will vomit.... ten people vomitting from partying is ok--- eleven is pushing it! sheesh

Re: I think I am developing OCD

Thank you girls so much, you really made me feel better knowing its not just me going crazy. I love the journal idea, I am gonna try it tonight.

Re: I think I am developing OCD

i think about weddings stuff right before i fall asleep everynight thinking that it will help me have happy dreams..but if i don..sometimes i have wedding nightmares
