| This is YOUR special day - so make it what you and your fiancé want. You want to make it something YOU can both enjoy together. So make it as relaxing as possible and invite the number of people you're comfortable with i.e. very close family and a few friends. Recently heard of a relatives "Wedding"... |

| I also love running. Indeed I'm in "my element" when I'm running - on my own, along the seacoast , in decent weather and plugged in listening to great music, where repetitive thoughts abound, and got that "it's great to be alive feeling". Feel like I'm "on top of the world" and could just run foreve... |

| You are not alone - I worry and overanalyse social situations all the time, ...repetitively round and round in circles (plus, I'm shy).

| No I don't exhaust my husband with my constant analysing (as I keep the majority of analytical thoughts to myself) but I exhaust myself!! I believe my brain is wired to analyse, so when my husband tells me to "stop being so over-analytical" I get highly annoyed. Analysing for me is as automatic and ... |

Eventually, she would go probably go beyond "distressed"?? and get angry in self-defence, as ... |
