You : You need to see or call your psychiatrist right away. Immediately stopping anti-depressants can be dangerous.
As far as your breasts are concerned, you may be dealing with an infection or possible side effect from a medication you are taking. It is difficult to say with such limited information. Please see your primary care provider for this problem.
Take care.

Let prescriber know: You need to report that symptom to your prescriber who will be familiar with your history and the specific medication you have been taking , and thus be able to help you understand that symptom for you.

Is depression my fault?

NO! NO! NO!: Depression is an illness thought to occur due to a neurochemical imbalance in the brain. It can happen following certain stressful events, like loss of a job, divorce, or death of a loved one, but it is not because of anything you did or did not do. If you feel depressed, please talk to your doctor about your symptoms. Your family doctor can treat depression with medication and therapy.

Maybe if prone to it: If one has depression but is in remission, stress such as job loss may trigger a relapse, so one should see his doctor to ask if therapy should be increased during the stressful times. Many unemployed people do not get any psychological problems due to losing jobs. However, "at risk" persons may get significant anxiety or depression symptoms due to feeling hopeless, unappreciated, etc...

Bad if not treated: It depends on the presence of stressor/s, the kind of treatment that you're getting, your support system (such as support from family members and friends) and so forth. It is very treatable. However, without adequate treatment, it puts you at risk to develop cardiovascular problems.
