October 2012 Weddings

whats wrong with me....

I have enjoyed this whole experience...no family/friend drama really to speak of...everything has gone smoothly...FI and I have been working our butts off to make this all happen...and over the past 5 weeks we have had both my daughters birthdays and FI and my birthdays...and here we are...the wedding is next friday...and I am SUPER EXCITED....but....

I dont know whats wrong..its not cold feet...I'm thrilled to be marrying the man of my dreams and its not that....all the sudden I feel exhausted....like ive run out of steam.  I have something on the schedule every day at lunch and then after work...and coordinating with everyone and trying to cross all the t's and dot all the i's...I'm just tired...I had to quit working out about a month ago and im putting on weight...which is making me feel slugish....I know this isn't helping.....I dont know...I just feel blah.....

Thanks for listening....

Re: whats wrong with me....

  • I think you hit the nail on the head - you're exhausted and burned out!  Try doing something NWR that you really enjoy.  I took the dog on a long walk last night and it really helped clear my head.  My MOH often reminds me about the triumverate of self care: sleep, shower, little meals.  Works like a charm when I'm in a funk.  Hope this helps!  If not, here's a kitteh:

  • I reached that point a few weeks ago. I was having a really hard day at work after a hard night of wedding upsets and I pretty much broke down and cried. I just wanted to throw my hands up and say "f*ck it."

    Take a day off and do something for yourself.

  • This was me last night.  I had a complete breakdown of "omg our wedding will be terrible and everyone will hate the tables that they're sitting at."  I am definitely at the point of exhaustion and I'm completely over wedding planning, but there's no time to take a day off.  I am kicking myself for procrastinating so much early in the game.

    We're almost there! It's the home stretch!  
  • JennaBird....I would love to keep in touch with you after the knot has gone quiet here in a few weeks and we are all married....

    Thanks ladies...I'm taking a walk tonight...think I'll take the dog...I'm already looking forward to it...hopefully it helps...

  • Jessi, I completely feel the same way!  I am just not excited right now because I am SO tired!  I feel like I am just going through the motions to get things done.  Tomorrow night is book club with my friends and although I haven't read the book (no time!!) I just am looking forward to a night of NWR girl time!

    Thats cool that you have an outlet...something other than wedding...I feel like its just been this one giant day for the past few months...it all just runs together and the wedding is of course taking center stage in every area of my life, thoughts, actions...i'm ready to be done...and go to jamaica...
