Beginner June 2022

I’m not sure how to define my feelings

This year has been a roller coaster. We went from getting married in June 2022 to getting married this July. The reason being my fiancé got a job out of state and I knew in my heart adjusting to a new life and planning a wedding would be hard so we bumped up our wedding. With 4 months, I’m so happy with how much we’ve accomplished with our wedding. Ladies, if you are committed you can make it work.
But, I’ve just been so stressed since the beginning of the year. My family was at first mad about us not getting married in a church, then furious finding out about the move and bumping our wedding. I’ve been keeping my composure and sanity together and I have to say I’m doing well. But some days I feel so drained. I’m preparing for a move and transferring my teaching stuff out of state which has been a nightmare because I’ve only been teaching a year.
I feel everyday something happens and I’ve just been so stressed. I don’t know what it is. I feel like it’s a mix of being fed up, nervous about this move and finding work and I’m mistaking it for cold feet. I just don’t know. I’m so excited about getting married and I love my future husband to death but I feel with all of these changes it’s messing with me 😭

Wow! That's a lot of life's biggest stressors all clumped together (marriage, moving out of state, new job)! You have every reason to feel stressed, anxious, excited, and depressed all at once. Lean on your SO and talk out your feelings. I'm sure he's feeling the same way, too. If you need to sub for the upcoming year while getting credentialed in new state and get acclimated to area and school districts, then do so rather than rushing into it. It will take time to adapt to married life and living in new state. Your feelings are normal and validated.

Your feelings are so normal for someone going through as much as you are!
You need a breather, maybe even just an afternoon, to not do anything or talk about anything that has to do with the move or work or the wedding. Play mini golf and harass each other. Go to a pizza place and get a single slice of six different types and split them. Talk about anything and nothing except what’s going on.
Also, try unwinding a bit. Are you off your phone an hour before bedtime? Do you get enough sleep and drink enough water? The world will wait three hours. Take sometime to remember your motivations for all of this stuff.

You've got this Marisa!! It's a ton of work (and it sounds like you've got a lot of other stuff going on as well), but you're almost there! 💖
Remember throughout the stress and planning logistics to stick to what you and your fiancé want!! Everyone else will get over it. 😉
