Going through a mental breakdown

Agree with OP. You need a day off! Life get so busy and we forget to take care of ourselves. You need to get back to YOU!

You didnt notice it was the wrong color during the alterations process??

Can you take a few days off of work to relax and regroup?

Prioritize yourself and your wellness. Lean on FH, you might be worried about stressing him out but if you're this upset he probably already knows, and it might help you both out to talk about it and have him be able to be there for you. Stop thinking about the wedding for a few days. Exercise, baths, cleaning, sleep, my pets, and crap tv help me when I am stressed, take some time to find out what works for you.

It is normal to stress out over every little detail. you only have a month left. do not quit your job, please. it pays your bills and puts food on your table. its just stress. take a day or two and just relax. go get a massage, pedicure, manicure, do yoga... something, but DO NOT QUIT YOUR JOB. we all get stressed out. I lost so much weight, my seamstress had to take my dress in TWICE, lol. BREATHE! YOU ARE GOING TO SURVIVE THIS!

I would go to the doctor. Also - if the wedding is causing this much stress - I would just cancel it. A party isn't worth your health.

I get this way when I am super stressed, don't do anything drastic. Like the PP's said take some time out to enjoy & de-stress. Exercise and being outdoors helps me. I get heart palpitations so bad when I am stressed I can talk myself into thinking I am having a heart attack. Please be nice to yourself and know that in less than one month you get to marry the man of your dreams!!!

I agree with PP about taking a day off if you can. I've found yoga to be very helpful not only in reducing my stress levels, but also just for my general health. As far as the stomach stuff, I'd look into reducing the amount of acidic food in your diet. My stomach is always a mess, and I totally changed my diet leading up to the wedding so that I wouldn't be so sick from the stress.

If you have insurance through your job, you might have access to an Employee Assistance Program which typically provides for a few visits to a mental health provider. Usually all you need to do is call the EAP phone number, explain what you are experiencing and they will connect you with a list of providers. A couple of appointments during the coming month may go a long way toward helping you cope. If you don't have an EAP, make an appointment with your doctor immediately and explain what you are experiencing. A medical professional will be able to help figure out if self-care like a massage, etc., will likely work, or if there is something more needed. The sudden onset of the symptoms you've described might be more than simple "pre-wedding jitters." If nothing else, you might feel better just to talk with a professional and get their opinion, and that alone may help you feel more relaxed. Take care of yourself.

Take a day for you!!!! It is so easy to get overwhelmed and easy not to always ask for help.

I'm just going to throw this out there, but is there a chance you might be pregnant?

It sounds like you're experiencing anxiety attacks. I would most definitely talk to your doctor- there are plenty of options that can help you get through this! Good luck!

I agree with others on taking a day completely off from everything and just focus on you and relaxing. Make sure you are talking with your FH also. That helped me when I went through a little period of feeling nervous/stressed/anxious all the time.

Thanks everyone for your advise. I have a doctors appointment on Monday. I took today off from work.

@ OG -no Honestly I didn't realized it was the wrong color. I saw it white all the time until the last alteration I noticed it.

I keep telling myself I am strong and I will survive. There are times I get over it and then it comes back.

I was feeling so anxious about everything a month or two ago... especially when they ordered my dress in the wrong size! It had to be taken in A LOT and I feel it would have looked nicer if they'd ordered the correct size but it is still beautiful and I'm not going to let it upset me. I actually have been feeling less stressed as the day is coming near... the to do list is growing smaller and I am just getting excited now. I'm glad you are getting help and taking some time for yourself.

I agree with PP. It sounds to me that your are having some anxiety. I would take a personal day from work, use the day only for you- nothing wedding related. Get some excersise, make yourself yummy healthy food, and do your best to learn how to not sweat the small stuff. I've been going to the gym in the am before work and it's helped my ability to manage astronomically.

Take a step back from wedding planning or anything wedding related. Anxiety is what you're feeling and it's because you're overwhelmed. If you have a few close girlfriends invite them over for drinks, comfort food, and some good old fashioned trash talk BUT NO WEDDING STUFF. Relax, your big day will come and you will see you've gotten yourself worked up over nothing. Good luck to you.

It sounds like you just need some time to yourself, and you definitely did the best thing by taking today off! You just need to relax, as much as you can! Stop thinking about stuff and focus on yourself right now.

I'm sorry. But yes. You need a you day
