Parents get anxiety too

Having to plan a reception, I can relate to wedding anxiety. We had 7 weeks to get this wedding planned and pulled together. It is going to turn out wonderful, but the stress just keeps coming.
So to all the brides to be, remember that that your parents also have some stress involved in your wedding planning.
^ especially if they are paying!
Because of all the anxiety many brides don't have fun during their reception. They're just happy that the planning is over with. It's so hard to see how wonderful the reception is when you've been stewing about it for almost a year.
Well of course parents have stress too. Even though the parents are paying, it's still up to the bride/groom for what they want. I understand in your case- her parents should be paying. You are great people to be footing the bill alone.
My parents told me once I was a certain age, and already living together, we could pay for it. Not them.
have an anxiety disorder, too. it's really not that difficult to control once you're diagnosed. tell your parents and ask them to find a psychiatrist you can visit. there you'll get evaluated and diagnosed. then you'll be prescribed anti-anxiety medication, most commonly benzos, but there are other alternatives you might feel more comfortable with instead. once you find the right medication, it should really make a difference. an anxiety disorder isn't really something you can overcome solely through therapy. therapy helps, definitely. but medication is usually necessary for a person with an anxiety disorder, just like it's usually necessary for a person with bipolar disorder.
seeing a therapist is beneficial no matter what, but it's mostly needed by people with extremely severe anxiety disorders when they're medication isn't enough to help. but go to the psychiatrist first for an evaluation.
That's very true, Antkmom! Even if the parents are not the ones paying for the wedding, the anxiety is still there.
Its just like having pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) LOL!
well in order to avoid this stress thing..we should have a wedding planner who will do the planning and everything...
Since wedding and reception is a function which is happening once in a life time, there may be stress and pressures.To avoid that invite all your friends and relatives 15 days prior to the function.Distibute the responsibilities to them.they may take care and your stress will be reduced .
Wedding nerves can manifest themselves in a large number of ways. Typically the bride or groom, or both, with this problem, will be really worried about the wedding weeks, months and even sometimes years in advance
Friends the question is for those who are serious.What if someone does not want to grow up? If feels insecure about many things at the age of twenty?Does not want to get into trouble of marrying someone?Does not want to marry at all.One who has been a real intelligent person, good at looks and very happy and just alright but has been missing something of the sort of peace since five long years in the life?Who develops depression at one time anxiety at other?Then severe neurotic disturbances?
She says she does not want to involve a whole family into her personal troubles .Says that does not want to bear diseased children.Shes my close friend but does not disclose her problem.She is the most neurotic person Ive ever seen.She is the most mature person at most of the times and does not bother people most of the times.She helps out understands problems ,respects people but the same person gets the most bitter ones at times.She cries and complains that cannot help herselp.And does not wish to bother her parents with her problems.
I could not come to know all this but accidently read her diary.She does not know .I can not disclose it to hurt or will rather hurt her.want to help her out .How should I?
Yes! of course really parents get anxeity when their kid failed suppose in his/her exams, or even when they do opposing them. each and every parent wants their kids to do perform in each section. they want to get fame by their kids.
Anxiety is nothing but stress and pressures arising from responsibilities.So keep your first priority always for responsibilities....anxiety will vanish

Not everyone can afford a wedding planner. That is sometimes where the parents and friends come in. For my sons wedding, they left everything up to me! I was first of all shocked that they wanted me to plan their wedding. It was very stressful, but ended up being just perfect.

i agree with you on this..parents may feel it too..since they will keep thinking on you what it will be like and how will it go and the likes..
Yes, preparing for an event requires energy and money. Anxiety or stress is only a by-product of the activity. The point is one should not get involve in an activity she or he has no love to do, or else suffer the unnecessary stresses.
You know, maybe that's why my parents always says to ask someone else to plan the wedding and try not to get ourselves involved in it.
Yes, you have to ask somebody or anybody to help you in planning coz you may think you can do it alone but when it is getting closer, so much stress will come and you will start to forget things.
