Anxiety.

Future.Mrs.Shawty

So, I'm 18 days out.... and I'm becoming more and more anxious.  I find myself feeling stress/anxiety the majority of my days lately.I know that I just need to take it one day at a time...one item at a time...but it's hard to do.  I think I've done a pretty stellar job getting everything done ahead of time.  And most of the items on my (pretty short) list of things to do are things that have to be done in the last few days, but I can't help this crazy feeling.  I also know that not everything is going to be perfect.  I just want to be able to narrow down the timelines for the few days before the wedding and for some reason I feel like I can't.  I'm also sort of stressing about my parents and sister (and her bf) staying in our house and feel like it's going to be chaotic with a house full of people.  Somebody make the madness stop!!!!

I am so glad you posted this! I thought I was the only one feeling stressed or anxious! I don't know if I can help it go away, but maybe knowing you're not the ony one will help lol. I'm sure it's pretty normal, but sounds like you are getting things done and staying a head of things which is good! Maybe wine will help!!! Good luck

I KNOW, RIGHT!?  I think I have myself convinced that the only way to make it through the next couple of weeks is to drink (heavily) every night.  Argh.

I totally feel the same way.  I'm 12 days out, and I just feel like there must be something I'm missing!  I've done as much as I can do though I feel like.  Maybe we both just need to take a breath and relax!

I think it is normal. And of course, everyone asks HOW STRESSED YOU ARE! More stressed now that they've asked, thank you very much.

Agree with all PP!  grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!  tick-tick-tick while I have to sit at work and I have a million other things to do!

If you don't want to go the route of alchohol-- and the only reason I don't drink every night is because I'd blow up like a balloon-- try taking a vitamin called B-Complex.  It helps support nerve function... totally helps me when I'm starting to feel a little over-anxious. If you need anything, let me know!!

I'm also 12 days out, and I was right where you are now last week.  I had what felt like a HUGE list of things to do, and I just starting knocking them off one by one until I felt better. I had a huge symposium at work that I was supposed to set up and supervise, so I was going to have to have a 70 hour work week this week.  After set-up on Sunday, everyone took pity on me and took over a bunch of my responsibilities so I'm down to a 50ish hour week instead.  MAJOR relief!
