I think I might have made progress in encouraging a therapist for my Hubby. We'll see.
It's extremely understandable that you would have anxiety with wedding preparations added to your usual duties. I remember the mix of excitement and stress I had during my wedding prep and wedding. They always say how it's one of the more stressful things in life, despite being one of the loveliest. Do please just pace yourself with the preps. 
Pinny, you are not weak! Being ill or stressed has nothing to do with weakness. I recall yesterday bringing up how strong we all are in battling a mental illness while trying to live the best life possible. |
Thanks so much @
soup du jour !
Youre so kind and thoughtful!
I was feeling very upset after the phone call with work and occupational health. I know its an illness but I so often dont apply that to myself even though I say it (and believe it) when speaking to others. I just feel like, maybe theyve got my diagnosis wrong and Im actually just lazy and weak
But I know that isnt the case, I just doubt it sometimes in my bad moments.
Thats excellent that you might have made progress about the therapist for your husband, how did you manage?
And yes, wedding plans, so far are going well, but becuase I have pretty bad anxiety at the moment, I dont want to talk to people... which is impossible while planning a wedding. Im feeling much more proactive today as I made a lot of progress yesterday interacting with the venue, a photographer and a band
