My 2 situations of buying a house were very stressful but we made it through them.
The first house was about to close escrow and my husband was laid off. I stressed. I knew that we were paying more in rent on our 2 apartments than the mortgage would be but for some reason I just stressed.
The second house we put on offer in before we had received an offer on our house and we didn't put it contingent on the sale of our house. We closed escrow on the selling house 2 days before the buying house...just enough time to fund. I was a wreck. With this house I was also really scared that we could afford it. I have found that the loan agents always over estimate the amount of the payment which is nice because it usually ends up less than you expected.
My advise....don't sweat the small stuff (yes I don't know how to take my own advice). Focus on the good things and what you plan to do once you close.
