Pre wedding depression/anxiety

I think it's very normal. Can your FH step in and help you out with making some decisions? I know it's all overwhelming but when it's over its over TRY to take one thing at a time and enjoy it as much as you possibly can. Good luck!

I definitely feel this way! I write every single thing down, and then tackle the easiest thing. Then I tackle the hardest thing. One by one, it all gets done. But I get anxious thinking about everything and once I write it down it doesn't seem like too much.

One day at a time. Breathe. It's going to be over before you know it, just enjoy the now.

Tiffany is right, one day at a time and take the time to relax and breathe.

My wedding is two weeks before you and I hear you, I am sooooo over it. You will get over the hump and it will all come together on your big day! Just look at all that you've already accomplished and the rest of it won't seem so bad.

I had about 4 months to go when I became sick and tired of wedding planning. The day before the wedding when I finished decorating the reception room I sat down at one of the tables and cried I was so happy it was done! It's been a year and if someone asked me to do it again, I'd elope!! You'll get through it one project at a time!

You are all so great. Thank you so much for taking the time to write some encouraging words to a stranger! It helps to know others feel the same way

Very normal! My wedding is not till next September and every once in a while I freak out over everything I still have to do. I know I will be a mess the month before! Good luck!

Talk to your FH about it. There's no getting around the attention of a wedding, but find comfort in him. Tell your dj that you don't really care what music is played as long as people are having fun. Consider hiring a wedding consultant to help you through this final stretch. You don't have to write your vows, you and your FH could go with the classic ones.

I think it's very normal! I feel the same way sometimes and I'm about 7 months out! The great thing is that you're almost to your wedding date!! Have you tried yoga or meditation to help you relax? You got this! I wish you luck!!

I have over a year to go and I feel the same. I hate attention and am dreading the day all the activities start. I wouldn't change it for the world though, because I want to walk down that isle! Hang in there girl! You're not alone!

Date twin! It sounds like a date night with the FH could do you some good ... taking a weekend with no wedding talk helped me to feel better

I'm almost at the point where I'm so done with decisions ... is there anything you can delegate? At this point thinking about decorations makes my head spin ... but my mom was so happy when I passed that off to her also napkins because wtf ... I don't got time to buy napkins

My wedding is 12/22...I'm currently in IDGAF mode.

We are date twins!!! You and I are in the same boat. I don't like attention at all. I will probably need to be medicated before I walk down the aisle so I don't pass out. I didn't want to do a lot of things because I don't want people staring at me...

I'm pretty overwhelmed at this point. FH keeps telling me to relax and take in the moment. 52 days and counting, I can't wait for the end result. I guess my advice is set small goals so it's not so overwhelming. I would tackle the hardest thing first.

Totally normal, lady, just try to relax, remember most brides feel this way before the big day, and if you have a melt down or two that's totally fine.....it's a super stressful thing to plan a wedding but definitely worth it. I went crazy worrying about first dances and vows....I worried about how my dress would look and the weather......but once I saw my husband at the ceremony all the worries went away and EVERYTHING was fine. It's almost like a blur, everything goes so quickly and it's almost like an out of body experience at times but try to relax and remember you're almost there and it will be worth it.

When I get stressed like that, I try to get into patterns... Work on it certain times of the day consistently, just a few hours at a time. Take some days off every now ans then. Create a calender and a to-do list. I bet you have a friend who is a music "snob" and would love to make a play list for you! If not, use Pandora and speakers (pay $5 so you don't have commercials cutting into your wedding).

I get super anxious every time I try planning. Especially at work! It's the worst! I've noticed that every time I try to plan lately I get really tired really quickly. So I've been trying to plan in little incriminates!

I'm the same way, but now a glass of wine or two, maybe three is my best friend lol

Do you have a Pinterest account? There are a lot of really excellent vow suggestions and templates to help give you a direction.

Your FH can help you with the music, I'm sure. You don't necessarily have to create a playlist if you use a music streaming app (Pandora, Spotify, etc.). There are tons of wedding playlists all over the internet that you can "steal."

It might not be too late to hire a DJ. If you go that route, you can give them specifics, but all you'll need to do is give the DJ broad suggestions - "I hate country music," "I NEED party music for my guests to dance to."

*Also, please keep in mind that using the word "depression" when you do not actually suffer from depression is very insulting to those who do. Depression is a real and severe mental illness that does not equate to being stressed out. I think it would be wise to change the title of your post if you do not actually suffer from depression.

I feel the same way and have to take a break from planning or even talking about wedding. I credit WW for the uptick in my wine consumption, lol. Just take a breather and regroup. It will be over before you know it.
