So stressed lately and overwhelmed!

I'm sure u've heard this a million times but I'm still gonna say it 'cause it's true. It's totally normal feeling like this, u're planning a once-in-a-lifetime event so of course u're gonna feel overwhelmed, BUT the key is to take it step by step, as soon as u start feeling anxiety or overwhelmed, stop, get ur mind off of it, and come back when u're ready. try to practice a little bit of meditation, yoga helps, so u can concentrate and see ur goal clearly without letting the little things that can bring u there, frustrate u.

HTH

Date twin, we are in the same boat. I have been crying like a crazy person I must say It is very overwhelming and some days i have no idea how its all going to get done. I feel like I don't have time to myself anymore and that it's all about wedding planning. I try to destress by going to the spa for a massage when I can. It's not easy but we will get through it. we will be saying I do on the same day so I am here for you if you need me

Thank you :) can't believe the day is literally around the corner- crazy how time flies!

Actually, I kept having panic attacks and I am someone that can typically juggle everything VERY well (I went to grad school full time while working full time AND TAed a class)

I got xanax AND went on Lexipro in January, and it has definitely helped

A close friend of mine started both of these meds like 8 months ago and she is like a new person!!

Kristie I'm so sorry I only saw this now! I wish I had good advice but I am also an anxious and easily stressed person! A wedding is sooo much work and it can become all-consuming...all I can say is maybe take a planning break!

Hope you feel better soon girlie!! Cause you rock

I was taking Adderall to get through both jobs, and I just came off Lexapro to go on Cymbalta! HAHA, Let's just ask each other 'hey, what's your poison?'

To go back to the thread question, you are definitely not alone! My father passed away a week before my engagement party, and I haven't cared much about planning the wedding since. I'm just starting to get back on my feet, I had to keep telling myself that my father would be pissed to see me dragging a$$ like I was ... This is actually why I went to a shrink and got medication to assist in my 'ambition', if you will.

I feel, (not that I'm one to talk), if you can avoid self medicating to get into the groove of wedding planning, then definitely try. Let out all your frustrations on these wedding boards, I've found they helped me just as much as the medications have. These girls are right, LIW is a GREAT support system!

OMG I feel the SAME way. I was just writing an email to one of my BMs that if this doesn't stop it is going to be a LONG 4 months.

I am mostly really excited, but I'm also nervous and stressed. There's a lot to do. I also find the wedding so preoccupying that it's hard to get anything else done, which just makes it so much worse.

I defintiely am right there with you.. Maybe it's the 4 month itch....We have enough done that we're like 'COME ON, LET IT BE THE WEDDING ALREADY' but now it's time for all the small details so we're like

I'm the same weekend and I'm bugging outttt!!! I have TONS to do...not everything is even booked yet.
