I cry all the time! anyone else feeling stressed?

Danielle, on September 1, 2011 at 12:08 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 22

As of right now, I have 38 days to go, and I'm acting crazy! I finally received my surfboard "guest book" in the mail that I have been waiting weeks for. I break a nail trying to open the box and I cried....seriously?! I hear a love song on the radio and I cry. And no, I don't even have the PMS excuse! School starts this week and I'm so overstressed and overemotional. Poor FH doesn't know what to do with me. He just feels bad that "I'm not enjoying this time." I want to, but there are so many little details to worry about (for the wedding and preparing for the first day of school) that its driving me nuts. Anyone else feel the same?

    Oh yes sweetie, I'm right there with you ... I'm putting together the music for everything tonight and I'm trying to not cry ... I look at myself in the mirror I try not to cry ... I hate my wedding dress ... my Mom is driving me crazy ... I am so tired and exhausted these days and oh yes I hate my job and so badly just want to quit but I can't ... because we need the money ... I hear people talk about the honeymoons they went on and I cry because we can't afford one ... Monday night FS told me that he thinks we should continue living in his current apartment with his current rooommates and I could NOT stop crying ... because I so badly just want a place to call my own ... Everyone has thier opinions and I want to tell them shut the F up! It is my wedding!

    Cue the Hallelujah chorus. You are NOT alone. And is it just me or do the FHs just not get it?

    Still need flowers, cake, tuxes, place to stay night of the wedding (my parents are going to be at our place, so NOT an option), working 2 jobs, car engine blew last week, and FH wants to know why the invitations aren't out yet. Really?!?!?!?!?!

    So, more to the point, you are not alone. Feel free to vent and we'll pass the tissues Smiley smile

    ****hugs to all of us****** We'll get through it.

    I am very sensitive right now, but i have 7 months to go. I am stressed out but I didn't realize I was this stress, or maybe its the new job also. But yes I cry over very simple little things lately it is quiet funny actually. I haven't really cried in front of FH he is usually asleep. I work an over night job so on my nights off I still stay up late because that is my sleep cycle. So I just sit and cry alone or get choked up over little things!

    Im getting married oct 1st. I'm stressed, but I always remind myself this is the type of wedding I wanted. I also get a lot of organizing help from my matron of honor aka as my twin sister and my mom- my sisters wedding was two years ago so we have all the stuff together. You have to forget about the wedding for a day or weekend and just relax and have fun- otherwise u get overwhlemed!

    I was the same way... not just the wedding stress, but that on top of family problems and starting birth control for the first time (hormones!!)-- I was a wreck a couple months beforehand. Hope you feel better...!!

    I'm STRESSED!!!! But not because of the wedding! We have a whole house dilemma that we're dealing with. My monster of a FMIL is trying to run our lives and she has my FH wrapped around her warped, twisted little finger, so everything dealing with our house situation is a MESS!!!! I'm trying so hard to get through it, but it's scary when we're getting married in 24 days and we don't even have a house to live in together as a newly wed couple! Smiley sad

    Stressed, frazzled, emotional, borderline bridezilla at moments! I feel your pain & my FH does not get it either. He is completely oblivious to amount of work I am putting in to the wedding. I just keep telling myself it will all be worth it when 11-5-11 comes & can look around & fully appreciate all my hard work!!

    I am stressed, between a new job which is crazy at the moment, I am moving this weekend, in the past few weeks we have had a death and I just found out another family member has been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. I still have plans to complete for the wedding and long distance planning is for the birds.

    You're not alone honey, I cried this morning at work when someone asked me what I had planned over the long weekend (I obviously have some wedding stuff to take care of). I just started to cry thinking about it all.....I'm 23 days away. Just ensure that sometimes those tears are happy ones, and not just stressed out ones Smiley smile We are all here for you if you need to vent or talk.

    I'm on the same boat!!! I don't think stress is even the word for it!!!! it's more of a combo between stress+freaking out+and family members driving me insane=? (I'm still looking for a word to describe that lol)

    I just tell people that "I'm just losing my mind...". Seriously, I am not my usual happy self. And I"M GETTING MARRIED! I have wanted this for so long! I should be so excited, but I feel like I just have too many details to deal with right now. Plus, I am a mother of two, and my oldest went back to school yesterday, so now I have that whole morning routine to deal with. I'm grouchy...I'm snapping at my children when they don't deserve it. I separate myself from my co-workers/friends so I can try to get stuff done. I basically suck right now. I couple of drinks in the p.m. does help though lol! I know it will get better in a few weeks once I get back in the regular school routine. Just have to get over the hump and the "back to school" blues. I worry about every detail though, because I am afraid if I don't, I might regret it after my wedding day if I forget something.

    We can do it girls! Glad to know I am not alone. Thank you all for sharing!

    Oh thank God!! I am soooo stressed!! I started school last week, had shoulder surgery 1 month ago that is not healing very fast! My FBIL was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. My nephew (usher) broke his back in 4 places, other nephew(usher) is being scouted for college ball on my wedding day, my photographer was diagnosed with cancer and needs immediate surgery and chemo (so no photographer). I am having nightmares about running over a woman in a wedding dress at like 60mph and I just scream!! I think the woman= me and the car that hits me with me driving= STRESS!!! My wedding wire just popped up and said "15 DAYS TILL" really!!??? I used to think it was cute, now its just annoying!!

    I know how all of you feel. A few weeks ago, I would just burst into tears over every little thing. I think part of it actually was PMS, but a lot of it was stress. I don't know how FH puts up with my crazy, but apparently he loves it. We changed our date to October 1st (have no clue how to change it on this site), so now it's even crazier!

    I know many brides think a wedding planner and/or day-of coordinator will break their budget, but honestly... how much is your sanity worth? I urge you all to reduce your "stress factor" and hire some help. It breaks my heart reading so many posts of anguish. You should have almost as much fun planning your wedding as you do on your wedding day!

    Wow, I thought I was going a little crazy today! We were out getting some last minute items for our 10/15/11 wedding and decided to go get something to eat... in the middle of lunch, I just started crying for NO reason! My Fiancee was like - what the heck!? LOL It turned into laughter after about 10 minutes of tears and chalked it up to doing it all myself stress! I can laugh about it now, but hope it doesn't happen too many more times! We will all get through this! Smiley winking

    We've all been there; and most of us have even posted this very sae thred. I was stressed to the point that I was on the verge of tears constantly. We made our final payment to the venue/caterer yesterday so that took almost all my stress away. You'll be fine, I promise it gets better.

    Like Kelly said, FH's just don't get it! With just under two weeks left, I'm doing an awful lot of crying and stressing out. There are so many details and so little time! Hopefully you have someone you can trust to help you out with the details. I stay up until the wee hours of the morning almost every night trying to work little things out and he always wonders why I am exhausted. Try to find some time to decompress & relax - alone, with FH, with the girls - bubble baths, date night, wine & movies, whatever will let you feel like you have a little time that is special for you! Also, I'm told that peppermint is a very soothing smell; keep some candles around! Good luck!!
