constantworrier1989 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I don’t even know what started it. My fiancé and I are driving 18 hours to go to our wedding and I had to pull over because I was having a panic attack about everything. I feel like I’m going to throw up. I had the image in my head of calling the whole thing off and had this horrible sinking feeling and just started bawling. My heart feels like it’s racing. How can I possibly get married feeling like this? I want to, I love him, but I feel horrible. please. I don’t know what to do. I’m trying to relax and not ruminate etc but I’m having the hardest time. I feel like since I feel this way it means I don’t want to. Or I shouldn’t. I’m so upset please help me Link to comment
AnxiousAnnie Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Planning a wedding is really stressful as are long journeys. Panic attacks feel bloody awful but it doesn't mean that you will continue to feel like that. Link to comment
Caramoole Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 If you were another person, another OCD sufferer you might be thinking "How can I ever change my baby's diaper?" (and yet they do 6 times a day) or "How do I feed my dog in case I poison him"(and yet they do, twice a day).........with you, your OCD has focussed on getting married.....hence as the day looms you're in a panic. If you woke up and found you'd made a mistake you'd leave, you'd eventually get a divorce. Maybe a bit embarrassing but hardly head chopping off stuff in this day and age.........and I only say that at all to highlight just how overblown OCD makes a situation. Concentrate on breathing. Keep a check on your internal chatter box, the rumination. Remain aware that OCD is the problem. Have a hug off your Fiance. You will be okay Link to comment
