Need to recharge my social batteries 🙃

Sara, on August 11, 2019 at 10:59 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 6
Anyone else feel this way after several hours/days of continuous socialization? I’m an introvert and also have struggled with anxiety for much of my life, but I think it’s normal to get to a point where you just need to recharge. I’m worried about how I’ll feel once the wedding weekend rolls around. We have lots of family visiting, rehearsal dinner with OOT guests, a busy schedule the day of the wedding, and would like to be able to visit with guests the day after the wedding. But I’m so worried that I’ll be too burned out and anxious to actually enjoy it. My bachelorette/shower weekend is coming up soon too and I’m worried that that will be the same scenario. I’m so excited to marry the love of my life, but I’m second guessing planning this huge wedding and inviting so many people because I don’t want to be an overwhelmed and anxious wreck. Has anyone else felt this way, and if so do you have any advice for introverts like me who don’t do well with situations such as this? Thank you!

    I'm the same way! I was running on adrenaline the entire day of the wedding, but enjoyed taking the next day slow. (We had a leisurely morning and drove back from our DW.) Did you already make plans for the day after? If not, I would suggest giving yourself a buffer to decompress and recharge.

    Thank you, that definitely helps ease my mind a bit! We would like to meet up with people at a popular local bar to watch the football game the day after, but maybe instead of staying the whole time we’ll leave at halftime. I definitely want to relax the day after!

    I honestly interacted more with people I knew and was comfortable with and kept my interactions with others kind of minimal. I still had convos with everyone but I was more aware of keeping it minimal so that I wasn't feeling so awkward and anxious aha

    This is why I'm up at 2:30 in the morning!

    I'm an outgoing introvert, and I work in the service industry. If I don't get a day where I don't leave the house every so often, I break down.

    FH is also somewhat introverted, so there's often a lot of quiet time around here. We'll be online, or reading, or playing a silly game, knees touching, but no talking. Just recharging!

    All I can say is schedule time for plenty of sleep. If you have to, drive 2 cars when visiting family then you leave earlier than him if you need. Just make an excuse like last minute errands or something. Take a few breaks at the wedding for a breather. And keep family visiting shorter the day after. Best of luck!
