Managing emotions!

Mariana, on October 9, 2019 at 10:29 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 6
I'm 9 days away and I am having such a hard time maintaining focus and being anxious/stress free that I literally cry every time I find myself alone looking at my living room full of stuff. Food's really giving me a hard time too since thanks to all this, my stomach isn't keeping it in. Nervousness just has me shaking all over and taking a relaxation bath basically every 2 hours (it really helps me get focused again). My FH is trying to help keep me calm and stable as possible since I'm epileptic and on Monday I sort of had an episode, but I feel that if I don't worry about everything, no one else will. I'm the one with the whole wedding weight on her shoulders and to be honest, I haven't enjoyed the process these last days at all. All I've done is look at everything that's left undone and honestly keep walking to my room and cry myself to bed. I feel as if everything and anything I do to help or improve things, just looks bad on other people's eyes. As if I can't get anything right/straight these last days... but if I don't do it, no one else does so basically it's me or nothing and no one...but those options aren't enough for anyone. I'm trying my best but I feel I just won't get there 😔

    I'm sorry you are so stressed out! It's great that you are recognizing these and taking time (your baths) to calm/destress and refocus. If I would you, I would take time to list out everything you still need to do.. maybe you could create lists for specific people as a way to help you communicate without word vomiting to them your list! I am bad about that and know I end up spinning myself up so quickly people do not know how to process what I just said or what I want. If this isn't an option, then you can prioritize your list to accomplish taskers yourself. You have 9 days, so break things down by importance and even by day.. if you have errands to run, map out your stops to maximize time.. if you have things to do on the computer, create a checklist and knock them off one at a time..

    Hey friend (date twin) ! i get what you mean, with only a short amount of time left and already having an anxiety disorder, i feel this. i think self care is the best way to go and if it makes you feel better then i would physically make a list of stuff you want to check and then do it! i myself have a check list but i’ve been having horrible nightmares as well. best of luck! try and enjoy this time girl!

    Take a breath. You're almost there. I know it can be a mix of emotions. Everything will work out fine.

    I honestly have so much going on I didn't think about making a checklist or map out anything, one by one. I mean, I know what needs to be done but I don't usually get up with a plan. This is such a good way to start, thank you so much 💕

    Hi!! I know!! And I can't hang on that much with some simple anxiety, I can't imagine having anxiety disorder itself. I hope you go through it too and enjoy this as much as you can!! I can relate on the troubled nights, I haven't been able to sleep well or some nights nothing at all. It's disturbing. I am taking that advice about making the checklist though trust me, I was completely blank on why I didn't do it in the first place. Best of luck to you too and thank you 💜
