I was doing so good...

In the 24 months that I've been engaged, I've been able to remain fairly level-headed about the whole wedding thing. Sure, there were bumps, but I tried not to let them stress me out too much since it's just one day.But I just had a full blown meltdown, complete with wailing, "I want my mom!" It's getting close now, and everyone is just b1tching about everything. They're really pouring on the crazy. Work is completely horrendous. I'm not even remotely done planning. FI is out of town for work 6 out of 7 days a week. And I really do just want my mom. I thought I was going to be ok doing this whole wedding planning thing without her. I'm still sitting here on the couch bawling my eyes out like a complete baby.

I don't think anyone gets too old or to grown to want their mom.  Wine.  Bath.  That's my solution for all emotional meltdowns.

Wine. Bath. That's my solution for all emotional meltdowns. Oh yes. I did the exact same thing last night.

Oh, honey, I'm sorry! I definitely had those points near the end too. For me, it was the work situation that pushed me over the edge. Anything we can do virtually to help?

Thanks ladies. I'm a bit more calm now. I think I'll do as you suggested with the bath and wine. I just really thought I was going to make it. I try not to say too much about it IRL because, really, what would I say? "Hey, I really wish my mom hadn't died so she could help me with my wedding." That's not super awkward or anything.

A nap or a good book always seem to work for me.  Good luck it will all be ancient history soon!

Wine and chocolate, stat! Anything we can do, other than provide cyber-shoulders to cry on?

Sorry to hear that - I feel ya (  Wine is a great idea.  So is taking at least one day entirely off wedding stuff.  No wedding talk, no wedding planning, nothing.  It can really help the stress levels to just forget the madness even for one day.
