Post Wedding Blues

I’ve struggled with depression in the past. I planned my wedding for about a year. It took place last Saturday & I’ve struggled with the ending of the wedding. The entire wedding was some what of a blur. I don’t remember parts of it & I worry that I didn’t take enough photos, I didn’t dance enough, I didn’t talk to enough people. It’s extremely hard on me to think about. I also drank too much towards the end and threw up outside the venue after the reception was over. Everyone tells me how beautiful the wedding was and how much fun they had. I’m just sad.

I'm sorry to hear this Lisa.. I have heard that post wedding blues are a real thing. Do you normally talk to a therapist? Maybe it would be good to talk to someone? Here are some tips I found online ♥️https://www.theknot.com/content/post-wedding-blues-tips-for-dealing

I haven’t experienced this as my wedding is 5 months away, but I have a feeling I’ll experience those post-wedding blues. You need something new to focus on! Wedding planning takes up so much of your time and life! Consider a house or yard project, a couple of day trips, maybe a small get together with your friends you can host. Something to keep you occupied and excited!

I haven’t experienced this yet but I also know that it will happen to me... I’ve been planning this for so long and have been so excited. I actually got nervous about it last night and couldn’t sleep. I’m so sorry girl.

Hi Lisa! Firstly, congratulations on your marriage!
I’m sorry that you are feeling like this.
It can be hard to process that all of the excitement and anticipation leading up to your wedding day is now over, especially after planning your day for so long. It’s important to try and remember that you were planning this day to celebrate your relationship with your spouse and you are now starting a new journey together. Have you spoken to your spouse about the way you are feeling?
You should also remember that you are not the only person to feel like this, and you are certainly not alone. If you are interested in reading up a little more, you could check out this article from the ideas section - 6 Normal Emotions If You’re Dealing with the Post-Wedding Blues
It’s wonderful to be getting such positive feedback from your guests about how much fun they had. You should feel proud of yourself for this!
It’s obviously not easy to shake your worries away, but something to look forward to is getting your photographs back from your photographer. Did they give you a time frame for when to expect them back? Once those arrive and you see all the happy faces of your guests I bet you’ll start to realize what an awesome day you planned.
In the meantime, perhaps you could ask your friends and family to send you photos that they captured on their phones from your day. It would be great to see for yourself how much fun everyone had at your wedding!

Thank you for all your support, I appreciate it. I’m waiting on photos so hopefully that will help. I am also an educator so having summer break on top of this made it so the wedding was the only thing on my mind. It is hard to focus on other things. My husband went back to work directly after but he knew how I am feeling. He is very supportive of trying to make me feel better.
