Can't stop worrying !

This probably isn't helpful but try and relax and enjoy it! Have you got any techniques that have helped you in the past?

bless you hunni. My sister was similar last year and she ended up going to the doctor suffering from anxiety - he sent her for therapy and she was fine. You dont have enough time prob to do that? But you could try and get an emergency referral?

Everything will be brilliant noone will get sick etc, its all your stress coming out in a different way.

Deep breathes and think of happy things - keep busy - it will stop you having time to think about anything horrible.

enjoy your special day xxx

Thank you for replying. To be honest I have never really done anything in the past, I've just waited until the feeling passed. My mum has said to me that lots of people worldwide have far more and probably think nothing of it. She says I should just enjoy it and also think that I deserve to be happy instead of feeling the bubble will burst.

I know you are both right and this is a lovely time now, the planning is done and we are only a few days away. I just need to relax and enjoy. Thank you x

I used to worry if something would happen, it was worse when we bought insurance and they give you a list of reasons you may have to claim for cancellation of the wedding. Those things you mentioned were on the list. Try not to stress your big day is almost here keep busy, get pampered and enjoy the last few days.

Im sure you will be fine and the big day will be perfect! Have a lovely time and enjoy every minute of married life! I cant wait x

I'm sure it'll all be fine, but if you're struggling to keep your nerves under control I've heard a lot of people recommend Rescue Remedy

TamarValleyGirl is spot on - rescue remedy is wonderful for calming nerves

I know it's easier said than done but, try and relax and enjoy the lead up to your big day! x

Hi

You have all been so wonderful and supportive and made me feel normal. You have all helped me relax a bit more. I am going to pop out and get some rescue remedy tomorrow.

I don't have time to sort out counselling for my fears but you have all helped that you have all been mini counsellors for me. A million thank you's. Only just over 56 hours to go .... xx

100% agree

Without the bad times you wouldn't appreciate the good times so make hay while the sun shines we can never forecast the weather or see in to the future so dont worry about the rain that may never fall.

This may sound really silly, but could you leave 'happy' wedding notes round the house? Not loads but say a picture of your flowers on the fridge, note saying why you love OH next to bed. It might give you lots of the good reminders of the day to attempt to stop the negative thoughts. When you do have them, just try some deep breathing and tell yourself the day will be lovely. Easier said then done I know, hence me being awake at stupid o'clock! But try hard not to let those thoughts overtake your days, plenty of relaxation, baths, chatting with friends etc.

Yes I have a few lovely things around thd house reminding me of the day and making me feel it really is going to happen. It comes and goes to be honest. Last night I was a bit tearful and this morning feel better. Am fairly busy today and also tomorrow. Will buy rescue remedy today and try to start enjoying these last couple of days.

Thank you to all of you for being so kind and helpful x

Hello future Mrs G!

The way you're feeling is completely normal - it's the 'This is too good to be true!" factor and I had exactly these fears at my wedding so you're not alone. ?

It's a very emotional, and let's be honest, exhausting time as the countdown begins so it's only natural there will be a few tears. Stress and tiredness allow our minds to taunt us, especially at night, so we don't sleep, and then we're tired again and on and on... It's a vicious circle.

My advice?
Deep breath in and out.
Practice your best 'wedding photo' smile! (go on..right now!!! ?)
Savour every moment of these countdown days. Take the time to revive yourself and pamper.
Don't think about tomorrow, just focus on today and your chores.
Eat well, get plenty of sleep.
Fill the house with lavendar oil if you need some calm.
Keep a journal for future reference when you'll look back and remind yourself of how you were feeling at this special time.
Lots of hugs for hubby2b and the family.
Start to take some fun photos now of these countdown days - they are just as much a part of your wedding and will make a nice addition to the album.

You've got 2 days to prepare yourself emotionally and physically so relax, deep breathing, think happy thoughts.

Have a wonderful, magical wedding day. x

I am so touched and a little overwhelmed at your messages of advice and support. I am now about 36 hours away from my wedding day and am starting to relax and enjoy it.

Thank you for being so lovely and helping me through my worries.
