Kinda wedding related....my new way to deal with stress

So over the last 2 weeks, it seems that every time I think about

A. Wedding stuff
B. Honeymoon stuff
C. Moving/ NY apartment/ finding a job in NY
D. Licensing exams

I seem to break out into hives. It is the worst thing EVER!

Make it stop!

Vent over

Just breathe (that's what I keep telling myself). I feel your pain. FI is moving back North for his new job starting 6/1, while I stay behind for work in DC. It will all work out.

Worst case scenario for the hives, take OTC allergy meds like Claritin. I literally break out in hives from showering, heat, beach, stress, etc., and my derm told me to take allergy pills. It totally works and I swear by it.

You are in DC, too?!

I got Cortaid today and that seemed to help

Sigh

Yep, work in DC, live in NOVA.

Cortaid is not bad. If the hives persist, Claritin for sure.

I've been through all the job search/relocating craziness too. You'll be ok and soon you'll be back in NY with FH. That is worth all the nonsense in the world.

Re: Kinda wedding related....my new way to deal with stress

I hear ya. I've been trying to get back to NY for literally a couple of years. The job market is rough right now. Trying to be ok with FI leaving soon.

Yeah. I am nervous, but I'm sure I'll find something
