Emotional support

[MrsXx4]

I got married 6 weeks ago and went straight on an amazing honeymoon. I've been back at work for 3 weeks now and back to real life and our normal routine. I just can't seem to move on from our wedding and feel so sad that its over. I'm not like talking about it or even looking at photos of it, but I just miss it and miss looking forward to it and can't get over that its over!

I don't know how to move past this sadness, my husband has been really great and on the whole I kind of hide how I am feeling and just get on with life, only now and then it creeps in and I get a bit emotional over it.

Has anyone else felt like this? I had such an amazing day, I just want to feel that happiness and excitement again!

I'm sorry you're struggling.

Think of the wedding as day one. It takes a lot of planning and there's a lot of excitement but if you let the wedding be the best day of your life then it's all downhill from here and that's depressing!
Plan some things to do with your new husband so you have things in the calendar to look forward to.

My Dad mentioned that the first year of marriage is a "honeymoon year". That really made me think on the day itself, and it did feel like the start of a year, rather than just one day.

Was your wedding a long time in the planning? It's not uncommon to feel a bit of a come down. But you have a whole life together to look forward to. It'll soon be your first Christmas as a married couple (if you celebrate it).

Are you happy with your job? That might be a separate issue that needs addressing.
