First, welcome! What comes to my mind:
- delegate! Who else can help with the remodel? Wedding plans? Moving preps?
- ask your ministering sisters to help - it could be a fun project for them
- simplify!
- to help with deciding what to pack/discard - check your library for "Spark Joy" or "Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" both by Marie Kondo (they're quick reads)
- take one day at a time
- focus on what you want, not what you don't (post reminders on your mirror: "I've got this", "I'm a great step-mom", "I'll always have the money I need", "I enjoy eating what's best for my body"...)
Congrats on the wedding! Wishing you all the best!

So end of July I get married to an amazing man. I wish I had an idealized body for him to enjoy, which I don't; stress has me eating things I normally would not, and my current knee sprain injury is making workouts difficult to nonexistent; I am nervous about becoming a stepmom to his wonderful kids; I fear not having enough money in the future, a fear I've had most of my life; I'm ADHD and organizing all the details and remembering everything to be done is dreadfully challenging for me; part of me wanted to elope and avoid all the planning and prep work; we will be moving out-of-state the day after the wedding, and trimming away unnecessary things is hard, knowing what to take and what to let go; I'm doing my parents' remodel's finish work, and I still have base boards, back splash, refinish the deck, caulking, and touch up painting to do; currently out of Claritin-D; my wedding plans by default cannot be finalized until my fiance and I receive a clearance letter for his first sealing. The stress and anxiety feels borderline paralyzing at times. Any words of wisdom, talks, articles, scriptures, mantras ?

Thanks for your imput and insight everyone. I think more to the point was that I hadn't ever talked about my feelings in this with my spouse this gave me the courage to do that and it's helped just to tell him. I think I just wasn't feeling understood.

My husband's biological parents divorced when he was little.  His dad later remarried when he was in grade school.  That lady (his step-mom) was/is SO much more of a parent to him than either of his biological parents.  She was the one that was there, that listened, whose advice he could seek, and that love was never ever questioned.
