I'm having anxiety after my wedding .. is this normal ?

monique, on July 13, 2017 at 9:27 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13

Hey guys , so I've been officially married for only a week maybe two . I'm very happy and blessed to married my husband . But now I have anxiety , as if I'm suppose to be doing something . Also have anxiety because I married my bestfriend, dream come true , but now it's like what's next? Is this normal or weird ? Maybe I'm wording it wrong .

    I felt the same way for the first few months after both marriages I would still be married if they hadn't been abusive

    No clue, but maybe it's sort of like post partum depression for new moms? Or maybe so much of your life was spent on wedding planning, that now there's a "hole" there and you need a new project or hobby to fill it?

    Did you go to marriage counseling?

    Oh my god. What is with these people suggesting women have babies to make themselves feel better???! Of all the reasons to start a family, that is the absolute worst and will blow up in your face so quickly. Don't put an innocent child through that.

    You probably are just used to being so busy with planning that the free time has your mind all over the place! Try a new hobby! Maybe one you and your hubby can do together!

    JFC Lisa.

    Do not have a baby because you're bored. Get a hobby.

    I think the absence of planning has left you unsure of what to do with yourself. It's pretty common. We had just bought a house before the wedding so once we were married my focus shifted to the house. Find a hobby and it should help.

    I've heard about this. Seems like a lot of women go through it. You spend so much time prepping and going to wedding related events... and then it's done.

    Know that what your feeling is ok and try to remember that you're now in a marriage (what you got married for).

    Never been married, but FW and I did a lot for FSIL's wedding and we felt this way after. We had constant events and projects the whole summer before the wedding and once it was over we both felt a little down. We honestly got through it by playing a lot of Monopoly. Find a hobby and start working on new project. You just spent all that time planning and I would guess you're just not used to having this much free time.

    Thank you guys ...... new hobby it is! I definitely believe that it is because I have so much free time that is not wedding related .Also I did go to marriage counseling before we got married .

    Live your life like you did before you got married!!! Marriage doesn't change who you are or what you do. It's not some magical ceremony that is supposed to make things better or worse! Maybe you need a hobby to fill the void of no longer needing to plan the wedding. Fh and I are learning how to play golf! It's something that we can do together, and gets us out of the house without having to travel far!
