I feel the same way! I am teaching, taking 2 grad classes and trying to finish planning this wedding.

It is so much that I am shutting off and just not doing ANYTHING.

It is so bad and Im getting married in 5 months not next month.

I think you need some time to relax!

I understand what you're going through. Take a deep breath and prioritize! We are stressed because we're looking for perfection. Roll with the punches and understand that things will happen? Is it the end of the world if they do?

Re: Kind of having a break down

well, not for nothing but you have so much going on.. I think it would only be natural to be in that state...

I know you hear this all the time.. but it will work out.. the reality is , you might be frazzled through it all......

we are women.. we are strong.... you can do this......

and , in the end you will enjoy your day and look beautiful.....

(that is why women have all the hard stuff in life) ... men can't handle the stress.......

good luck

OMG -

I am working full time - I am an autism consultant in schools - I work way more than 40 hours (and I'm salaried at 37.5!)

I work 2-3 evenings a week providing ABA therapy to a 13 year old boy with autism

On Saturday, I work all day in a social skills group for children ages 4-19 with disabilities (mostly autism) - FH and his daughters work with me - I supervise the program!

I go to school 2 nights a week, preparing for a board exam!

No wonder I'm done! Plus, I am anal about squeezing in 3-4 days a week to exercise - usually late classes - 7:30 or 8:30!!! (forget about early mornings - can't even wake up anymore)

It will all be over before you know it and then you'll wonder what you were stressing about to begin with!

You really do have a lot going on!
I find that when I am overwhelmed, making a list of things that need to be done, and then scheduling the time to dso them, helps a lot!
Good luck!

I would say get a To-do-List going for school and wedding. Getting it down on paper sometimes puts into prospective for you and you'll see what MUST be done now and what can wait a few days or weeks. Good luck!!!
