Finally pushed too far...

So I have been very on edge lately with all this wedding stuff...when I realized that we are in the "teens" on our countdown I had a minor anxiety attack in the car. So, FMIL decided we were taking family pics this past Saturday...on the beach...with 4 dogs...we seriously looked like a spectacle of tourists all dressed in white trying to keep 4 dogs under control. So...I lost it. I was a freaking wreck 5 minutes into it and had a nervous breakdown! It's official, I have lost my mind! So I went to the doc today about my hair loss (like seriously, I'm concerned that I won't have enough left to style by the wedding date...coming out in clumps still and I refuse to even blow dry it)... he ended up putting me on anti-anxiety meds! And he recommends I take like 3 the day of the wedding! So now I am officially a mental case! I'm told this is somewhat normal but really?!?! They have to medicate me?!?! Ugh...just venting. Hope no one else is going through this crap!

    That's what I told him! I'd like to be a little more "with it" on my wedding day!!! I definitely won't be taking 3 but but hopefully 1 or 2 it will help a little!

    sorry this is happening to you! just tell yourself it's just one day. I know the closer if gets the more stessed you become. Maybe get a massage the morning of the wedding. That may help

    I'm sorry to hear about all your stress! One thing to remember: medical doctors are medical doctors, and they do what they're trained to do (i.e. give people meds), if you aren't comfortable taking meds, therapy is a great option (and is effective for anxiety), Many medical doctors stink at thinking to tell their patients about options besides meds, but therapy works.

    I'm not sure if you were just venting, or if you would be interested in alternatives to medication, but I hope that this helps in some way!

    I'm so sorry to hear about all your stress!! I hope you feel better on the meds. Things will calm down after the big day. :) In addition to the medication, try some meditation or yoga! Hugs to you and congrats on being in the "teens"!

    NOOOO your wedding shouldn't do this to you, I know its stressful but to the point of being medicated?!?! Try to relax, I know it's hard but take a day where it's just you and FI, no contact with the world and remember why you are doing this. Don't talk about the wedding. Meditate a little, go to a spa, call in sick and get some sun put on some classical music and scented candles. I dk something, but you need to relax and enjoy your day

    I actually feel a little better about it today...yesterday I was kind of freaking out! My doc says (and he has known me for years) that he really thinks this is a situational type of anxiety and forsees this all going away after the wedding. Which I can totally see and now just look at meds as something in the event I need it. Althought it still doesn't help my hair loss...I know this wedding shouldn't be stressing me out like this but I guess the control freak in me is going haywire. Oh well, 18 days and I'm off on my honeymoon with my honey and life will go back to normal!!! Thanks for the support girls :)
