How to handle wedding stress

Take breaks ! Have days where you don't do any planning or talk wedding planning stuff.

Yes, take breaks! Keep a journal near your bed and jot down what went wrong in your dream. I used to have terrible wedding nightmares and then i realized they were usually along the lines of what i hadnt done and was stressing over. Writing it down helped me address it the next day. Now the dreams arent that bad anymore.

I slept horribly for a couple months before my wedding. I'm shop sorry you're having nightmares. Can you elaborate on what's bothering or worrying you? Maybe talking about it here well help.

Honestly do something else when you start to feel overwhelmed. Or do something that's fun until its no longer fun for you. Think all positive thoughts before going to sleep and try to channel good dreams. 🙌

I think first is acknowledging the stress. If you don’t mind me asking, I know you both are planning but are you the one that makes most of decisions? It is like that in my relationship, so I was just curious.

I think it it is a level of control that is hard to let go of and having designated days where you and your love sit down to talk about everything. Use the wedding wire list app, it definitely helps in calming those nerves because you get to check off what you have done which feels totally awesome.

Also, if it gets too bad, zzquil is the best. It helps me sleep through the night when I am normally restless. Do not do melatonin, it will make you have dreams like you took some random drugs from a guy in a trench coat.

Xanax and lots of wine 😂😂😂😂

As PPs said, don't burn yourself out! Take as many breaks as you need and take planning one step at a time

View Quoted Comment Yeah it is mostly me making the decisions. Sometimes it just seems like he doesn't care at all about it, so I feel like I have to do everything myself. Thank you for the advice. I actually do take melatonin so I'll make sure to cut down on that.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I know I'm over thinking alot of the small stuff. I think most of what is causing it is the lack of support from family and trying to do this huge event on our own. I do feel like I am having to make a lot of choices on my own and it is very stressful since this is the first (and hopefully only) time I'll have to make these choices. I appreciate everyone of you for the help and support. Thank you again.
