Post Wedding Blues! :o(

Neeny82

Hi girls,

For those of you who have recently wed - please tell me I'm not alone at feeling a little depressed that the whole 'wedding' thing is over?

Don't get me wrong I'm loving being married and I know its the marriage that is the important thing, but when you have been excited about something for so long, then it's gone its a little sad!

We had such a good time but time seems to have flown since the wedding and honeymoon! And everyone keeps saying "Oh I bet it seems like forever ago"

I've been fine until 2 days ago when I've felt really tearful! I know i'll get over it but just wondered if anyone else felt a bit like this or am I cracking up? x x x x

I didn't want to read and run, I'm sorry I don't know how you are feeling but I have been thinking about the post wedding blues myself and wondering what, if anything would help with it! It must be such a wierd feeling to go from having all that planning to do, to nothing in one day but as you've said, you're now a married lady : ) could you not plan a night out or a little break away for something to look forward too in a few months? or I know it sounds daft but why not take on the Christmas shopping? that might get you're mind off the blues, can't help with people making comments like that though! Hope you're feeling a little better soon, and hugs for you x

Bless you! Thanks for your message!

I was a really laid back bride too - non of this perfectionist, bridezilla behaviour! I just feel a little sad that all the fun and excitement of the day is gone now. Like I said though its prob just a little phase!

I have taken to organising my 2 best friends hen parties for next year so I feel I'm doing something although I have to say that its not the planning i'll miss really, its the excitement and butterflies leading up to the day!

Oh well there's only one thing for it! BABIES!!!! lol x x x x

Apparently it's a well known phenomenon, probably more common for bridezillas, some newly weds actually get depression. Sounds like you'll be fine though.

Have fun planning the hen parties.

Awww hun, I agree with cleomolly. Find a new focus.
I can imagine i'll be the same. Hell I get a bit like that after I've been reading a series of books. Suddenly those characters arent in your life any more and you miss them. The planning will be exactly the same for me I reckon.

I think it's probably normal. ....... And if it's not - I'll be abnormal with you after my wedding

Bigggg hugs!!

I think it's totally natural to feel post wedding blues. It's almost like, "right, that's that done. Now what?" If you've got the DVD, why not make a date night with a nice bottle of wine and some nibbles and sit and watch it?

ill let you know the mans perspective in a few weeks after im married but in the mean time...if you feel blue, why not get a little blue with your groom, that will put colour in your cheecks!

Babies are definitely the way forward.

Its not unusual to have the post-wedding blues - you have been racing around trying to get everything organised, then you are the centre of attention and then you are a married woman and everything feels a bit flat. The honeymoon period wears off quite quickly so you need to do something to keep the spark going - getting involved with hen parties and the like for friends will help. Doing something special together will also help and as for babies - it may be a little soon for them but you sure can have some fun practicising:D

Aww hun, it's not unusual to feel like that.

I've been feeling ok but we spent so little time and had such a low key day that it's not a big deal that it's over.

My friend spent 3 years planning her wedding and is feeling quite down about it all. My friends sister actually felt so down afterwards that she moved house to fill the void! You're not alone!

Big hugs to you honey!
