Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

I am breaking out really bad too! Like on my neck..its weird..I never get pimples there. My hair is also falling out..which scares me! I cant handle going to school full time, working full time, planning a wedding, helping my mom move to florida, and christmas shopping..I just cant!

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

I am going through the exact same thing!!! I acutally just had a conversation w/my mom about it last night! I feel like the weeks are flying by & I don't have a moment to myself...How the heck am I suppose to get the holiday decorations up & the shopping done when I am not in the mood to do it

My mind is racing with a million wedding things that NEED to be done!!! I am stressing & it seems like I will never get everything done!

I am also in the midst of planning my nephew's christening which is next Sunday (dec 11th)...The party is at my parent's & considering my brother, SIL & nephew live OOT, it is so stressful!

To top it all off, I suppose to be moving into our new house Jan 1st & I can't find time to even pack a single item! How is it possible to get everything done & not miss one thing!?!?!?!

FH is stressed with work & both of us pass each other as the other dashes out the door! I can't wait for everything to calm down but then again, that won't happen!

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

i have been feeling the same way. I have been working 10-12 hour days AND trying to get stuff done. It's really hard, but we can pull through!!!

I feel better once I accomplish something though- it just seems like so many balls are up in the air and we CANNOT let ONE drop..that's why I am going to get $hitfaced at my wedding afterparty- definitely NOT the wedding, but the afterparty- just you WAIT! LOL

feel better though luv. we are all here to help.

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

Deep Breaths!!!!

At the height of my stress, we closed on a house, packed 8 years of my apartment (by myself!), worked full time, addressed and mailed out 250 invitations and moved... all within a week and a half! Sometimes it seems impossible to get it all done. Just take a step back for a moment and FORCE yourself to give yourself a break... even if it is for only 10 minutes....

It helped me tremendously in those times when all I wanted to do was go hide under my blanket and not face the world.

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

Thanks ladies!!! I'm glad that I'm NOT the only one!



How you ladies can help???? - Anyone in Credit Risk Management?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

Ladies!! Please relax!!! remember.. We are humans, not machines. Please do not take on more then you can handle-Do ONE THING AT A TIME!!! Even if it means taking a day off a work to get it done.. DO IT! Stressing isn't going to get things done any faster. I know that it can be rough, but I know we will all get through it. We are all very busy-especially around this time of year. I wish I knew what to say to allevate some of the stress, but I dont.

Please take it easy-always remember that you can come here to vent, oh yeah and about the money situation.. Dont go overboard with buying gifts this year.. Im sure everyone will understand that money is tight. (Especially for us brides).

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

You poor thing. Then you are tackling the invites too!!!! Geez!!! I'd say take the weekend off from the wedding planning!!! Have a great romantic dinner with FH, on him Go see a movie, have a drink.

Spending quality time with my honey always makes me feel better. Laugh and enjoy eachothers company. Don't talk about the wedding!!! I know, easier said than done, but try!!! Sometimes we need to just step away and take a breather!!!

Hope you feel better sweetie!!!

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

Another piece of advice. DH and I designated one room in the house as the no wedding zone... meaning, nothing wedding related was to be discussed or done in that room. It worked...

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

I'm getting migraines and cannot seem to concentrate... working and planning, planning and working, working and planning - how do you maintain relationships, friendships... ahhh! I'm with you! (see - I should be working, but I'm on LIW...) I keep feeling like I'm forgetting something major!

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

I'm freaking out too. There is just so much to do, and I feel like all I ever do is 'countdown' to the wedding....6 months, 5 months....and I just freak myself out - it *****!

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

Nope - you are not alone @ all.

i cannot believe that an entire sale weekend passed and i did not go shopping once!!!

i am an offical santas helper - who is too broke to help this year and it is frustrating the he!! out of me!!!!!!!!!

plus i have not been sleeping well either.


i know how you feel - hang in there - things can only ease up....

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

Christine- I can completely understand what you are going through! There are so many things I need to get done (both at work and home) and cannot get to! I am working until 10 PM most nights and start work at 7:30 AM... only had 1 week vacation in a field that encourages you take 4. So I am with you sweetie. As each day passes, I get more and more scared that it won't get done.

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

that is the worst when you dont want to shop! i have been going through this for a few months now!

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

You are definately not the only one and I am glad that none of us are alone in feeling like this. I am either crying or yelling at FH or smoking up a storm or hiding from everyone just to get through the daily stress. Who said that this is supposed to be the happiest time of our lives?

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

You are sooooo not alone. Shopping...what's that??? This year I am only getting 1 thing for FH & only buying for the kids. It is impossible to do anything that involves money when you have none.

I am getting closer to the wedding also, I am almost at my 6 month mark & still have a ton of crap to do. With the holidays, I don't expect to get anything done & after I know the time is going to get away from me.

My biggest concern right now is going to register. I can't listen to my mother & FMIL giving me grief about not doing it yet--as if I have nothing else to do!

Everything will get done eventually. That is the way you have to look at it, if not you will drive yourself CRAZY!!

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

Its really hard, I'm in the same boat as you...with my recent promotion and wedding and school and holidays now I dont know where to start...my house is a mess, I havent done laundry in two weeks...I've been buying clothes instead of washing them I havent had a home-cooked meal since Thanksgiving and before that I dont know when...I feel like my head is in sand...oh and I also work in my second job as you know...I really need a drink...Chris-dont drive in on Monday....lets get ripped royally!

Re: Okay...I THINK (no...I AM) Stressed...

I have been really starting to stress lately. I am in school Part time, I work full time, i run my own business which takes my weekends. I was just complaining to FH yesterday. Its just crazy doing everything. However, keeping busy is not so bad. It helps u to stay out of trouble.
