I will say that being engaged has been one of the best times of my life but there are also moments that are very very stressful. I have laughed, cried and jumped up and down about things so much in the past almost 4 months we’ve been engaged. I think all the ups and downs of decision making and wedding stress have made me a more emotional person. But my emotions manifest and come out at the oddest times.
For instance:
I have cried and I dont mean a few tears I mean sobbing puddle at nearly every episode of How I Met Your Mother this season.
This video not only made me start sobbing but I got major baby fever
I may or may not have started laughing super hard at something A did and then cried(not from laughing) but just started randomly crying the other night…I was laugh crying so hard I couldn’t breathe lol yeah
Then there are the times I am just in a mood…nothing will happen but I just get moody…I am a woman can that be my excuse?
I cry at most things on TV where there is a happy, sad or mediocre ending….Don’t ever let me watch the movie, Flight 93 again!
I cry at anything that involves the words How I Met Your Mother finale …. I just can’t y’all(more on that Monday)
A has been pretty great. He knew I was the kind of girl who wore my heart on my sleeve so this is no shock to him. Oh I cry when people get voted out of Amazing Race…unless its those blonde girls in which case good riddance
I wouldn’t say I am emotionally unstable but I can be a bit of an emotional mess
Normal right?
Right?
Come on guys tell me that it’s normal!
Do you ever just get into an emotional mess place?
This is so NOT normal…not really! Stress will amp our emotions. This is nor-mall, momma. And I’m with you on How I Met Your Mother.
You are going through one of the most stressful things in life! Perfectly normal:))
Oh I am an emotional wreck all the time lately … but generally speaking I cry really easily, add a little stress to the mix and I’m all over the place!
does the weather affect your mood? These grey, rainy days have been affecting me like no other!
Ohh my gosh I just hated being engaged – at the time I didn’t know whether I liked it or not, but now I can look back and say it was the very worst thing I ever did! Seriously, elope! Haha you know why everyone says their wedding day was the best day of their lives?? Because they no longer had to PLAN A WEDDING. Thats my thought, anyway.
I cried a lot during my short engagemnt, but it was usually because I was mad at my mom over the guest list and threatening to elope. I spent many hours searching the internet for elopement packages. We almost went to Savannah, GA.
But, in all seriousness, I have always cried and will probably always cry over everything. I’m just a crier.
Wedding planning can be super stressful, that’s for sure! Whenever I got too stressed, I just tried to remember the most important part of it all – Mike and our new life together:) That way, it was easy not to get worked up over things like invitation fonts and colors schemes.
I am 6 months engaged and it has been the craziest and most emotional 6 months of my life!!! I’m so bad that I’m even getting panic attacks, it’s insane. I’ve helped friends plan weddings and was SO excited to be engaged…and now all I can think about is marrying Bri and being on a plane to our honeymoon and getting AWAY from all of it lol! I think we just romanticize it so much….there have certainly been fun and amazing moments but for the most part it’s stressful. I’m with ya girl!
Engagement brought out the crazy in me too. Gary was amazing and helped out. Things will get better, I promise.
I have cried so much this year over HIMYM. I think it’s because it’s ending and I know there will be no more new moments with all of them. Last week was especially bad and I can’t even imagine the last episode. I may be catatonic by Tuesday. Also, wedding planning can be stressful, but just remember what it means at the end of the day – you’re going to be married to the person you love most in the world – and it will make all the planning seem easier.
Totally normal. My hubs is very unsettled by my awkward emotional outbursts at times. Planning a wedding only adds to all of that. I’m so glad we planned on a short timeline because I could NOT HAVE HANDLED ANY MORE OF THE STRESS.
That being said… United 93 terrorized me. I attribute it to my fear of flying after the fact.
Stress can surface as all sorts of different emotions. Crying being one of them…and even if it’s the good kind. I’ve definitely had my fair share of weird emotions too. I think it’s mostly normal. We’re woman and our hormones make us do weird things sometimes. 😉
