I think I'm about to hit rock bottom...

I don't know what it is...but I am in such a FUNK lately!!!

I've been stressed with work, wedding planning, fixing up my house, fixing up my dad's house, etc...

I thought it had something to do with my pill. I forgot to take it 3 times in one week so I had to double up. I thought maybe I sent my hormones for a ride...but this is crazy!! I'm sooooo stressed!!

CALGONE TAKE ME AWAY!!!

Sorry for the vent.

Feel better!! I have been feeling the same way lately so overworked and stressed! It is a very hard time for me professionally, but I kind of think of the wedding as my reward!! We have a long weekend coming up; enjoy it and just relax!! Or if you are like me, have a few drinks!!

Thanks a lot girls...it means a lot to me.

I just feel silly cause there is SOOO many things that I have to be thankful for, but yet I am feeling terrible.

I'm sure it will pass...just like everything else does. I just wish it would pass like right this second!

Thanks again

I'm very sorry, hopefully the long weekend will help.

Maybe get a massage or go hit a punching bag-- these both help me feel bettter

I think the BCP can totally have an effect on you...usually if you miss that many, I think you are supposed to scratch it and start again the next month...try that...your body may be going into premature PMS mode...

working out always helps me...

Try taking a day off from EVERYTHING - no lists, no calls, don't do anything you HAVE to do. And then see where the day takes you - maybe to the beach, maybe to a park to read a book, maybe to the movies - just give yourself some time off.

Wedding planning can be very stressful but try to relax. I got stressed too a couple of times when i was wedding planning. In fact I got married on July 6 (the 4th of july holiday weekend) and on July 4th my sister in law invited us to go to the beach with them and one of my matrons of honor invited us to a BBQ bash at her house and all the time i was like 'I cant go to both, it's two days before the wedding, i'm gonna have a million things to do' i was feeling stressed but you know what in the end things that had to get done were done and I did ending up going to the beach and the BBQ and I am so glad I did it because i got to relax that day so much. So take advantage of this long holiday weekend and relax and maybe go away somewhere.....When is your wedding?

Re: I think I'm about to hit rock bottom...

I think that's what I need to do...get away from everyone and everything.

I'm usually a VERY happy person. people always tell me that I'm ALWAYS smiling (which is true) so when I get quit...that's when everyone starts asking me 'what's wrong' a thousand times and that makes it so much worse.

But again... THANK YOU ALL for your suggestions! Your all very sweet.

I hope you feel better soon. Just take it easy, and if it makes you feel any better, I hit rock bottom once a year. There's ALWAYS something that leads up to me losing it completely. I'm a little nervous because I haven't completely broken down this year yet, so I'm sure it's coming this fall when I start my new job, ontop of my current job and start grad school again. Somehow I'm predicting this one.....But hang in there!

I hope you feel better soon. Hopefully you can take a break from everything this weekend and just relax. No working, planning or fixing...just relaxing.
