WHAT SHOULD I DO TO RELAX??!!!!

I'm freaking out all over the place, but quitely. Like I'm at work, but all I can do is wedding stuff, and I'm going to sleep and waking up wedding, and not sleeping well at all, and my house is a giant mess from my shower stuff which I haven't put away and I feel like throwing up pretty much all of the time. If it's not one thing it's another. AND PEOPLE KEEP ON GIVING ME MORE PEOPLE TO INVITE!!!

Is this normal 32 days before? If so, what can I do to relax?

You need to take a day off from work....and just go do something for YOU. Get a massage....get your nails done....buy something nice......you need a mental health day!

CITRON LEMONADE
Adapted from Lever House
2 ounces Absolut Citron
2 ounces fresh lemon juice
1 ounce simple syrup
Sprig of mint, crushed, plus a sprig for garnish
Club soda.
1. Shake vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup and crushed mint in a mixing glass filled with ice.
2. Pour into Pilsener glass (or other tall glass) and top with club soda. Garnish with mint.

a couple of these and you will be 'wedding? what wedding?...'

Take a bath..have a glass of wine..or something stronger..read a book, not wedding related, try to take a nap..watch a favorite movie,..if you have the extra cash...go SHOPPING!!!

Awww. That sucks! I'm sorry you're feeling so stressed. The thing I like to do best when I'm that stressed out is go to the movies... by myself. I can pick any stupid movie I want without any objections from FH or friends. And I can eat lots of popcorn and not share!!!!

I've been feeling the same way!
I've been going to the gym to relax - it's the only time that I don't constantly think about the wedding.

Thanks!

Buy a house.



Seriously, ever since we closed, and started painting and what not, I haven't really thought about wedding planning... not for WEEKS. It's truly amazing

Same here...still waiting for 92 people to RSVP and the RSVP deadline is May 1...

You are not alone...I feel exactly the same way- there isn't enough time in the day- can't sleep, wake up 150 times a night and always on edge....to make it worse on Friday, my boss called me into the office to tell me 'I knot this is really bad timing but the next 3 weeks are going to be really crazy here and I need you to be 100% focused'

I was so taken aback and pissed off, bc I am always giving 110%, and I even asked her if there was anything she felt she wan't getting from me, and she said no...so I don't understand the whole point. I thikn she is annoyed bc I have been making alot of wedding related calls...but bottom line is I still get all my work done, can't tell you the last time I took an hour for lunch and I get in at like 7:30-7:45 everyday...

Sorry- that turned into a long vent.

MY FI actually just sent me an email, to tell me he jus cleaned the tub bc he wants to me take a long relaxing bath tonight... awwwww

Honestly I developed an ulcer over the last few weeks....

I maybe making that drink tonight...

Good luck..and hopefully a good nights sleep!

I would get together with some of your girlfriends and go out for drinks. That always makes me feel better. Alcohol is a wonderful thing in moderation!

I was going to suggest a margarita, this should the same trick!

I've had days like that. I step back from the whole wedding process when I feel overwhelmed.
I take one day off. No wedding work, talk, anything. Go to the park, see a movie, take a drive, whatever.

I've found that when I try to take baths, all that does is give me more time to think about what can go wrong. Then I quickly get out and go on the comp.
