Hi there,
You need help. The difficulity breathing problem is anxiety...goes hand and hand with depression some times. I have been on anti-depression meds for many many years now. Anti-depression meds should put your breathing in check. I now have severe Tinnitus for the past 15 months. I joined the Tinnitus support group, but there is only one person who sends me a few hugs and there is no one to talk with about my T problem, so I took a look at the drepression group and came across your question. I often have bad times. Life has been especially bad since last Jan 2011 when my T started and several other really depressing problems as well. I would love to talk if you want to.

I'm not a doctor or do I come from a creditable source of information but just taking a shot at it I would assume you have like a situational depression. Once your able to get your feet on the ground and move forwad I would guess it will resolve. I too have become depressed because of things happening out of my control and it's hard for me to understand people with depression that have everything in their control? But that's a mental/chemical disorder and all that, so again this is just an individual veiw but I think you just have "a lot going on"

There's definitely a lot going on right now, but it's quite possible that you've developed depression as well, but you'll find out soon enough if it subsides (hopefully it does). I don't think it'd hurt to get some help even if you think it's just temporary. It sounds like you've been through a lot lately.

this year ive had alot happen to me too, such as a family member dying, my car broke down also, lost my job,my parents got divorced, have a semi broken phone, lost my boyfriend also, and its hard not to feel like its your fault and feel sad. also i abused diet pills and now have anxiety, as well. i was pretty happy before all of these bad things happened this year. im taking antidepressants right now and just started so they havent kicked in yet, but i just wanted to let you know your not alone!

It sounds like situational depression to me, but I'm not a therapist or mental health care official.

These events are bumps in the road of life, and can be dealt with. They are nasty, incredibly annoying bumps, I don't mean to minimize them. But the good thing is that you have identified them! That can make them easier to separate and work on.

I realize that there are some huge things in your list, so that can take some time to deal with.

Gentle hugs
