NWR: Taking time off

Hey Brides:

SO my mind just never stops buzzing and my anxiety level is going up and up.

I am currently working full-time at a doctors office as a medical assistant and front desk person. I am also going to graduate school at night part-time (taking two 3 credit classes). If that wasn't enough I am trying to save money for the wedding and making sure I get done as many little details completed SOON. I am very scared I am going to forget something.

Since my anxiety is rising steadily and I am starting not to feel so good and very tense 24/7...I am considering possible taking a semester off from school.

ANy opinions on this? Pros/cons?

Thanks for your time!

I can see why you are having anxiety. You have alot on your plate. If you feel it will help then I think you should do it. Nothing should come before your health. Also if you are not feeling good I would go talk to a dr and maybe they can help as well.

Evaluated how much it will impact your long term goals to take a semester off. I would guess not too much. If, however, you are worried you'll never go back if you take a break, then thats another thing. You also don't want to risk having your grades suffer with so much going on.
I would do an honest pros and cons list and let that help you decide.

don't let your grades suffer, but i agree your choices will affect your long term goals...remember your wedding is a single day event that while we want it to be perfect, in my opinion, should never come before health and careers...i would honestly try to juggle it as best as you can and maybe find a coordinator to help you or a life coach to help you out...it never hurts to talk to someone too regarding the anxiety
