Hey, guys what do you all recommend to do about depression? I am 18 and engaged and my dad acts like I shouldnt be able to spend any time what so ever with my fiance. What should I do?:(

Hi, It sounds as if the depression you are feeling is a situational one and not a chemical imbalance depression. If you are depressed because you are not able to see your fiance as often as you would like, I would first suggest that you take it to the Lord in prayer, and also find a few scriptures which minister to your situation and what you're feeling. Meditate them, speak them over yourself, pray them over yourself. When we are feeling depressed due to a "situation", we need to "take up" the word of God and speak His truth over us. As for your father, respect him but sit down with him and talk it out. Find out what he's thinking and his reasons for his decision. You may find you are able to agree with his reason. If not, as long as you are living in his home and being supported by him, I would respectfully nsubmit yourself to his wishes in this area and leave it in the Lord's hand. In the meantime, see your fiance when you're able to and commicate also with him through phone calls, letters, etc. It may not feel like it now, but this is a short season in your life and will soon be over. Be patient in the Lord. ;) When is your wedding date?

Thank you so much guys..you all are great. Im glad I can talk to people that care on here. I will definatley try what you guys said. My dad likes my fiance he just says its taking over my life. We supposively spend to much time together and talk to much on the phone. But, I do get to see him this weekend at the Winter Jam in Cincinnati so that will be fun. We havent set a wedding date yet....we are hoping to the summer of 2008 but we dont know yet. But, thank you guys very much.....can you guys possibly add me to your friends list? I have no friends on here yet....lol God bless, Christi

how can you spend too much time with someone you are going to live with?:huh: anyway, i'll pray for you.

Pray about it... dont forget that though you have falling in love... God still wants and needs your love. Make sure you put Christ first... or what you have might not be as prosperious as it could have been.

I have been praying about it so has my fiance. I dunno how I spend to much time with him....thats just what my dad tells me. Thank you Charis for all your support and advice I truly appreciate it. :)
