Anxiety!

[mdccy9900]

Has anyone ever experienced waves of anxiety when planning your weddings? My heart races and my breathing picks up. What do you do in these situations? It's going to be a long two years if this anxiety sticks around everytime I plan. Looking for some help. Thanks girls!

I was like that at my wedding. I was so scared and had a sick feeling right before I said I do. Its ok all you have to do is make sure you love this guy and you truly want to marry him and then if you do then think of all the happy times you will spend together. You will be together for the rest of your life and you will spend every waking moment with him. Just take it one day at a time and be happy about it. :p

I often feel the same way! actually I feel that way right now just reading some of this stuff! Hopefully it won't happen when I walk down the isle! That's why I'm having my Maid of honor and one of my bridesmaids be the one's to "calm me down" :p

I just got married on Saturday and the whole time leading up to the wedding, I was feeling major anxiety. Not really about money, but about something going wrong. Well, Friday night, my daughter had a fever, but it went away by the morning. Then during my reception, I lost a diamond in my wedding band. I found it, and am going to have the jeweler replace it. I know this stuff sound bad, but the thing I remember most about my wedding day is the happiness I felt getting married. Now, I feel so relieved that I don't have to worry anymore!

I too suffer from anxiety and am extremely scared of that moment of walking down the aisle. I tend to lose my appetite when I'm over anxious and then get weak and sometimes even pass out. I know I sound like a freak but it happens. My biggest fear is of passing out at the altar!! Anyone have any suggestions that will give me a quick calm down?? Thanks girls!!

I SO agree with you guys! I tend to micro-manage things at times so I can really imagine myself being paranoid about whether the candles will be lit and whether everything is going to run smoothly. I am enlisting one of my friends to be my wedding coordinator for the day and I do trust that she will be able to handle things but the only concern I have is that she lives in a different state so when she comes down for the wedding I will have a very limited amt of time to explain everything to her and actually show her the site and how I want things done.

I am having some anxiety too. I am a teacher and am used to controlling every aspect of my day, lesson planning, classroom management, assessments, etc. Each day at work I know from X:00 to Y:00 the students will be doing this, then from Y:00 to Z:00 they will be doing that etc. I thrive on that ability to know exactly what's happening. I handle all the household bills (FH and I bought a house together a few months ago) and remember when to do our cars maintanence. But with this wedding, I can plan only so much, then I have to depend on various people; caterers, DJ, photographer, reception site, etc. etc. I'm not used to depending on others. Don't get me wrong, I know that FH would be there for me no matter what, but I just like having a handle on things. I am anxious. I keep having nightmares about my dress...one dream it was teal instead of ivory, then it was black and had some bleach stains, then some of the tulling was ripped.... I am also nervous about talking in front of people..ya, the teacher afraid of talking in front of a crowd. I can talk in front of kids, aides, other teacher's, and have no problems, but I am soo afraid of my voice being shaky, or flubbing up my words. Ok, enough... Thanks for letting me vent on this!
