    OMG, the wedding is two weeks from tomorrow! Between renovating FH's house for sale, moving his stuff in and finding room for everything, the end of summer session crunch, a giant pile of grading to finish, taking care of my animal sanctuary and the acursed wedding planning I am literally going nuts. Sometimes I think about all that still must be done and my heart starts racing and feel like I am going to throw up. Any other August/September brides freaking?

    BREATHE!!

    I almost feel the same way you do though. The wedding is in 44 days and I have tons to do yet so I feel a bit overwhelmed with the planning and life in general. I am trying to control my anxiety but I just have to remember to breathe and calm down. Everything will work out!

    I'm not to your point yet, but I will be in about another few weeks. Focus on one thing at a time. Break your to-do list down by day, that way you'll feel like you're getting stuff accomplished, and you can do a little each day.

    Good luck!

    I was like that last week. This week I am strangely calm. I'm sure it won't last long. Breather. Have you tried making a list? That always makes me feel better

    That's great @BlueSpurrs... I was born and raised in Bethlehem until I went to college. I went to Bethlehem Catholic ... Such a small world!

    I make lists all the time. Unfortunately, I am so unorganized that I lose my lists all the time!15 days to go and I think I am having anxiety attacks :  wedding Icon Redface

    I felt like you a week ago. Now with nine more days to go I'm feeling better. The only advice I can give is to keep plugging away at those to-do lists. The more you can get done now, the less you'll have to worry about. It seems to come in cycles... I'm sure I'll have another freak-out soon enough!

    I have am down to 2 weeks and have started to have chest pains this week.  I think its from stress and anxiety about the Wedding.  I think its expected to be stressed going into the final days especially if you have done a lot of things yourself and want them to come together.  Has anyone else has serious stuff happen to them like chest pains?

    I had chest pains and anxiety attacks when i was studying for the bar exam. My doctor's advice? Do yoga and drink a glass of red wine at night. Seriously. It helps. Remember - in the grand scheme, the details won't matter. I'm sure you already have everything done that NEEDs to be done (a marriage license and an officiant). Everything else is just gravy! :)

    I was freaking out a few days ago--but after going over everything, talking to our caterer about a back-up rain plan, and speaking with the people at our venue--I am strangely calm. My friends and family keep on telling me that no matter what happens it's going to be an amazing day--and I believe them. So breathe! Make sure you take some time to do non-wedding relaxing stuff. I took a nice bubble bath and read. FI and I have set aside date time to do non-wedding stuff and not talk about it--that definitely helps. Hang in there!
