Serious Stress Issues

Hi ladies, i just have to make sure i am not the only one..

SO many things have been bothering me lately, i'm either crying or laughing and mostly for the wrong reasons.

Friday i broke out into hives all over my chest, stomach and neck.

Now what/ Everyone says to try and relax, take a bath, go to the gym, get a massage.. But all i can think about is the wedding and where we are going to live and how we are going to pay for it all.

this honestly is the best time of my life, but at the same time it is quite stressful.

anyone else is my boat?

Believe me.. I know how you feel. I have been snapping out like crazy lately.. mostly taking it out of my poor FH. He is so good to me, I swear. Its like the slightest thing can set me off and BOOM.. my whole attitude can change in an instant. The mood swings are horrible. One minute Im sad & hate the world.. the next Im excited.. It never ends. I cant WAIT until Im through planning this wedding.

Hang in there.. This is a very emotional time for us now

I totally understand.!

I'm 100% the same way....all over the place with my emotions. My poor FH...he is so patient with me.

Hang in there girls!!!

I, too, broke out into hives a lot during my engagement because as happy as I was, wedding planning seriously stressed me out.

What helped me was taking a break - no wedding talk, making wedding to do lists, I even eased up on posting here for several days just to clear my head about the wedding. It did help. I know it's hard, but take time to reconnect with yourself and FH. Everything will get done, everything will be beautiful and you may actually miss this time once it's gone.

Oh - and just in case, go to your doctor and get a 30 day prescription for clarinex. I feared getting hives on my wedding day and I took a 5 mg pill everyday the month before the wedding and I was hive free all of December.

I'm glad I am not the only one. I feel bad when I snap at FH. I just flip out sometimes when I think about everything that I need to do.

YES! OMG - our house deal fell through that we have been counting on all year, so now we have to deal with legal stuff with the builder, and we are scrambling around looking for a place to live. I am so stressed with the house, and the wedding, and finalizing details, and paying for everything - I can't sleep and I cry so easily. Poor FH - we went to look at a house yesterday and he said something to me and I started crying when we got out of the car (the real estate lady is sitting on the porch) - so I made him get back in the car and drive around the block so she wouldn't think I was a loon.

Re: Serious Stress Issues

The stress is getting to me too. My stomach is upset a lot and sometimes when I try to eat, I just cramp up. I have a constant anxious feeling. Even though I know everything will work out, there's just so much to keep track of and each thing has a bunch of complicating factors inherent in it.........it's overwhelming.

Even just today, I have to make a decision on what hospital to change to under my insurance.......and I don't even know where we're going to be living yet.

I want an avoidance nap!

Thanks Angela. I'm hoping things happen for a reason, and it will all work out. We find one we liked last weekend and are going to make an offer - hopefully they accept it.

Re: Serious Stress Issues

I am majorly stresssing (5 days before the wedding) - I don't handle stress very well. All it takes lately is for someone to TALK to me, I swear. I just want everyone to leave me alone (except my LIW girls, of course).

I've been more concerned about getting everything done in time and being in a rut trying to lose weight. I think all of us can relate one way or another. Things will get better!!

I thought you got an accepted offer on a house??,did it fall through??



As a matter of fact, it did. the owner was playing games with us, he wanted us to go up another 10k and we just couldnt.. That is what i think led to my downfall this weekend..

WHAT! OMG that is awful. People are so mean and manipulative - and it really is not fair for people who are just good people and expect the same in return. Good luck

Re: Serious Stress Issues

I agree,
First my so called best friend of 11 years ( MOH) dropped out of my wedding, since she claims that I do not spend enough time with 'the girls' these days....
then my brother and his horrible wife dropped out of my wedding b/c i didnt put their daughter in my wedding party.

sometimes I think that people do not think before they act, ya know?

I suggest just trying to relaz and be happy that you have your fiance, if anyone will ever be there for you, he's the one :)
