Stress Management Support Group
Stress management defines stress as a person's physiological response to an external stimulus that triggers the "fight-or-flight" reaction.Stress can be overwhelming. This community is for best practices in stress management.
I am getting married in early 2009 and I am already stressing about the day, largely the speech. I am a shy person deep down and I do not like crowds of people watching me. It's not that I cannot speak in front of people, but the pressure around it, I fear is too much for me.
Stress effects my sleep and I have nights where I have real trouble sleeping. I am really afraid (and this is part of the problem) of not sleeping up to the Wedding and then feeling awful and not having the strength for the day.
I really really want to enjoy the day. I love my fiance so much. I can't imagine being with anyone else. It pains me to know that my nerves and over active mind are a weakness which possibly could cause my day to be a blur of tiredness and anxiety.
I am considering going to the GP for a sedative to help sleep and calm me on the day.

I am a person that stresses with anxiety naturally. My fiance and I eloped and I had not one bit of stress the entire weekend. It was awesome and it was entirely for us.

Write your speech down and then practice practice practice. I too don't like speaking in front of large crowd. Talk in front of a mirror you will be able to see your expressions in the mirror. Gather up a few supportive friends and run the speech by then. I hope this help.
