Try and make yourself feel good about yourself! that should have a positive effect on your finance and consequently help your relationship. List/remember the reasons why you agreed to marry your fiance that will perhaps help you getting out of the cycle of depression quicker

ive been through depression and i know its an awful time for anyone. try to remember with the right help you can get through this. noone can really understand what you are going through unless they have been through it themselves. i tryed to tell my bf what i was feeling and it really helped. SMALL STEPS FORUM is a site which i found really helped me. try it and any questions you ask will be answered by other people in your situation. good luck :0)

As a fellow sufferer of depression, I can tell you that its important that your significant other realize what they are getting themselves into. I was very upfront with my husband when we were engaged about it and I'm so glad that I was because its not the sort of thing you want to be dealing with as a surprise. I hope that you are in treatment, and if not, please seek help! There are support groups that your fiance could join that might help him in understanding your illness. I've found that the most important thing is to be open and honest with your partner and knowing that this is probably a life long battle, he needs to be prepared for what that means for him.

All relations are like a sand in the fist (be it your partner, kids, friends). The tighter you want to hold, the farther they want to go. Let it go loose and keep a string enough to hold them, the one that is meant for you will stay with you. The one you DID NOT need, they were at the wrong place to start with. Remember, anything you needed in life was provided for you before you asked for it even. The one you did not need, even if you had it, will go to it's destined place, to where it belonged. Take one day at time, one moment at time, one instant at time. Take the best out of it, leave what was not best. You make choices. Do not, do not depend on others to seek your happiness. You happiness lies within you. You are the master of your happiness. "The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you! we are in charge of our attitudes." -Charles Swindoll.

See if he will attend therapy sessions with you, so your counselor can help him understand your depression. Many people are misinformed about depression, it's causes, it's treatments, etc., and become much more accepting once they hear the facts from a professional.
