Getting married is an exciting time for many women. While highly stressful, the adrenaline rush associated with planning and coordinating a wedding can be a thrilling time that many women look forward to experiencing at least once in their life. For the high strung and energentic wmen, the wedding day arrives, the reception takes place and the guests go home only to find they are left with feelings of remorse and loneliness. What transpires next is often not expected; post wedding depression. For women eagerly planning a wedding celebration, understanding the implication and symptoms of post wedding depression will ensure a more pleasant transition into married life.
Post wedding blues, also known as bridal depression or post wedding depression, is common among women who may commonly romanticize the institution of marriage. In post wedding depression, following the wedding day, many brides fall into a deep depression when faced with the reality that "THE" day has come and gone and now settling into married life, as the role of a wife, is a lifelong committement. For some women, this may seem depressing as it closes the chapter on a part of her life and begins a new unchartered path. It is during this period that many women will turn to their mother figure or a very close friend as a confidante to express concerns. While these two individuals may have been supportive during the wedding preparation process, discussing fears and sadness, over the nuptials, should not be discussed with mom or friends. Because these individuals may also be suffering a sense of "loss", they may not offer the most objective advice or comfort during this transition period of the bride. When faced with post wedding depression, the optimal sounding board would be a spiritual advisor or a marriage counselor.
