Stressed out bride

Ever since I got engaged a year ago it's been stressful and it has gotten to the point that I will break out in hives! I have never been allergic to anything but when I start tracking when I get hives it's always when my stress level goes up. Between my cousin and three friends dying within days of each other due to cancer (one being my caterer for our wedding this past saturday),my bridesmaids putting me in the middle of their issues because two are actively planning my shower and constantly complain how the other three, which includes the maid of honor is not helping. Then you have my FMIL adding people to the guest list me or FH don't really know like that and people trying to bully their way on the guest list that it's become too much. And my FH has been doing everything he can to help me with the hives and get my stress level down, but as soon as we do, I'm getting a call about this and that. How do you guys handle wedding stress because I needs some tips because my methods suck!

Take a week off from anything wedding related. Mental health > other people's opinions

Take a break. You have time. Meditate. Get a massage. Read a book. Unplug from social media.
I think someone here said every time someone not invites tries to talk to you about the wedding, start with "Omg, I had to cut the guest list Again!" I liked that.
I wish I could help you more. Do you need to hire a wedding planner?

If you are posting on your social media accounts about your wedding, stop immediately. The messages like the one you posted above, ignore them. They do not require a response from you. Tell your BMs that they need to handle their own drama. And your FH needs to step in and tell his mother that the guest list is set and a closed subject. For both you and FH, a lot of your stress can be relieved by simply saying no- and meaning it. No is a complete sentence!! This will give you the free time to deal with your real issue at hand, figuring out the situation with your caterer.

Say No.
Then ask for Benzos.
Or just take a couple benadryl and a nap. I break out in hives when I'm anxious, too. I either take a klonopin or 2 benadryl and a nap, and it usually clears up.
