I know this must sound very weird- but I feel both sad and happy at the same time today.
I didn't believe, before now, that it was possible.
Why am I feeling this way?
Well...
I am happy, because I know that God loves me. My relationship with God has become closer and deeper. My family loves me. I have a decent job. I am working. I am sort of young (32), and pretty healthy.
But I am sad, because I don't have all the things I want in life- and I am having a little bit of trouble getting along with my Fiance. She and I are preparing to be married...but we have some things that are very concerning to me.
For one thing: I want a Camaro really badly. But my Fiance thinks I am obsessed, and it is unhealthy. She thinks I need therapy because I want a hot rod. But I admit the truth- it is more than a desire.
And, I am very worried about money. She and I aren't on the same page, it seems, when it comes to how we should handle our finances.
Comments? Advice? Thanks.

I hate to say this but wanting a hot rod is an immature desire unknown to most religious people. I was raised a Christian and was taught thereby that personal desires for Wealth, Power and Fame were taboo. In stead one should concentrate on seeking and telling Truth, appreciating the Beauty of God's universe and exercising Goodness toward others.
This latter is most important and is felt as love toward all others including your enemies and forgiving them for past and present wrongs you think they have done. Your fiance' is not doing any wrong other than admonishing you to GROW UP! Forgive her and get your priorities straight with God.
It is not impossible to be sad and happy at the same time but the things you are sad about are pretty inconsequential.
Good luck with your fiance', good mental health, peace and Love!

sounds like you may have bipolar disorder, maybe even add, with compulsive disorder. You should not have to see a therapist simply because you want a camaro. I souped up a z28 and it cost me so much money i'm still paying on it 5 years and 3 cars later. You're just a car person. It's not a sickness unless you have a compulsive disorder where you go out and buy things on impulse without thinking of the consequences. It also sounds like you are going through a "mid life crisis" early. Your life isn't where you want it to be. You're not a millionaire living on the beach with a ferrari, so what in the world went wrong? You just need to get your perspective back and realize that you are doing okay, and it doesn't take a million dollars to be happy. I would talk to a qualified mental health individual if you are deeply bothered by these things.

You want advice? If you have any doubts about marriage, don't do it. It only gets harder. If your fiance is bringing you down, you've either got to have a long serious talk with her, or break up.
Before I married my first husband, I had doubts. It lasted a year and a half. Before I married my second husband, I had NO DOUBTS. That was over 30 years ago, and I'm still madly in love with him, and visa versa.
If you two aren't on the same page about money, you're in big trouble. Mark my words. I'm glad you're happy otherwise!! :)

It sounds like wanting expensive things is causing you to feel sad. Can you learn to be happy or at least satisfied with what you have? Life is much easier and happier when one can do that. It's great to want things and to work for them. When not getting stuff that are not necessities cause sadness, it's doing more harm than good. Seems like it's causing a problem with your relationship as well?

You could be bipolar. It involves feeling both, being maniac (happy, crazy, etc.) and depressed.
