It seems every time something goes right a dozen things go wrong to get in the way. I recently discovered I have severe depression. I can't afford the wedding I'm supposed to be having in September. I'm loosing my job through no fault of my own. My alcoholic workaholic neurotic stress head mother took the place of my long dead alcoholic father. My fiancee is really stressed, which sets me off. Quite simply, as I've said before, it would be refreshing to just be dead. Everyday I feel sick when I get up, I barely sleep (as has been the case for years), I have constant headaches, my vision occasionally goes blurry, I can't concentrate on anything and my appetite is all over the shop. My mood swings more than any girl I know and I can't take it much longer.
Am I in the process of a nervous breakdown and what can I do to counteract the situation?

Triger, thank you but a couple of hours isn't going to help. These things have been going on for years.

Well... possibly. Are you on any type of anti-depressants? It sounds like you really need to get alot off your chest. Of course your chest probably feels as if someone has put a 200 pound weight on it.
This is what I would do FIRST. Find somewhere to get away. Go to a beach, go for a long, long drive, to get away from the stressors. Lock yourself in a closet and cry or something, but there is alot that needs to be released somehow.
I know, cause I just did this last week, but I'm bi-polar so...

Believe it or not, most people are unaware that they are having a nervous breakdown! But from what you described, you do have enough stress to bring it on!
Have you discussed this problem with your family physician? Perhaps your doctor can recommend you to see a good psychologist. It wouldn't be a bad idea that your fiancee go see one too. Too much stress on any relationship is not a good one to start out on. Go make an appointment to see your family doctor. Hopefully you both can get some answers that the two of you can work through.
Good luck to you! I hope you feel better soon!

Believe in yourself. You are still sane enough to describe all this in proper sentences and spelling --- i gather, its the beginning of some journey -- its your choice. You are you , no one takes away your will but you. Hang on in there , take charge . One thing at a time. Toughen up. Cheers !

symtoms:
*trouble thinking
*find it hard to do things
*lack of sleep
*shaking of hands or so forth
*headaches
*cant focus
These are the symtoms of a breakdown I suggest you drink water and relax. Lie down for a couple of hours and take it easy.

Buy yourself a half decent hog with what money you have and just cruise. Let the rest take care of itself.
