hi everyone

[bride2b]

Hello everyone Im so glad I've found this website as i've been feeling as if im the only person in the world that get panic attacks recently. I am due to get married on feb 16 of this year so not long to go. I am so excited about getting married but im am so worried I am going to get a panic attack when im standing there in front of everyone. This is making me get them quite alot recently. As the first panic attack I ever had was in a Church at a friends wedding I had to leave the ceremony as I thought I was going to faint and couldnt brreathe properly! Anyone who has advice for me please feel free to get in touch as I would really appreciate speaking to people who have felt like this and been married and how you coped. I was considering Hypnotherapy does anyone know if this works at all? I usually just avoid a situation where I think Im going to get one but as its my wedding I cant do this!!!

Hi Bride2b, welcome to NMP.

Go to your GP and ask him to give you something for the day. That's what I did when I was a bridesmaid for my sister last year. I also took my rescue remedy spray with me just in case, put it in my mum's bag and am glad to say I didn't need it.

When I got married I nearly fainted, but I managed to breathe my way through it. Make sure you have something to eat because I think that's why I nearly fainted. I was so nervous that I couldn't face food - I was scared to death of panicking. I took some Diazepam, which my GP gave me especially for that day and it worked a treat.

hi bride to be, i havent been married yet but i have all this to come, i suffer anxiety i am not bad now but in situations were my heart goes fast with situations i know i cant get out of i panic, i know how you must be feeling, the more thoughts you have of the situation it is probably making you worse, do you have to have evenings were you have to practice in church? if so set yourself some targets say to yourself if i can stay here 30mins i am doing good, just give yourself good positive thoughts like how nice it will be after the church, all the presents you will get and a nice honeymoon, buy the rescue remedy and spray abit before the church, dont forget people are expecting you to be nerves, is it a full nuptual mass were you are there a full hour? get a yoga video for relaxation, let me know how you get on, if i can be of any help my email address is buttonsj@3mail.com, good luck x

Hello and congratulations....

Does your hubby "to be" know how you are feeling? He will be there with you (obviously) and maybe he will be able to help you through it! Believe me its usually the men who are more nervous on thier wedding day so he may need your support too. As fisher said people will expect you to be nervous so if you have a bit of a wobble it doesn't matter it's your day.....you can do what you like!:D

Hello and a big welcome to you, what a lovely username :)!!

When granny got married she tripped over the hem of her dress [Oops!] nearly knocking father over, came over 'all funny' (didn't know what it was back then!) and is still here telling you all about it!!

Take the advice that has been given and ENJOY your lovely day!!

lotsa luv

Hi , i totally agree with ma,larkin, It,s all the excitment of the day, try and enjoy it though ,the time will fly by and it,s a day that you want to remember for the rest of your lives. you will be fine ,think of something nice, or [as i did] focus on an object in the church and deep breaths, when you walk out of that church you will be MRS........... enjoy life together, be happy, and have a wonderful day. from all at n.m.p.:D:D
