There could be many reasons why depression is getting the better of you at the moment, but I would urge you not to try and tackle this on your own.
Your first step should be in the direction of your own doctor who, if he/she cannot help you themselves will certainly refer to to someone who can.
There is no need to suffer the way you are - please get help.

Try to use your life well and don't allow doom and gloom destroy it.
Be positive in everything you do, and regard your life as a one shot free gift for living it to the full and NEVER EVER give up hope.

So ..applying what you already now ...and using all the good things you have in your life as a focus ...DIG deep and not give into those negative thoughts. Keep yourself safe ..and latch onto the positives ...and know that a thought ..even a negative one is just a thought. You just let these negative thoughts come and go ..and refuse to act upon them.
I bet you are a lively human being ...and I bet too that through your own unfortunate suffering you have many beautiful qualities!
Keep fighting ..and keep believing in yourself ...and don't act upon those negative thoughts...
Hopefully your wishes will come true in time ..but if not all those particular ones you mentioned don't..REMEMBER you can always have other wishes ...and that's OK because no one has all their wishes come true. It doesnt stop you or anyone else from being a lovely person ...and the best people are those that are beautiful on the inside which I'm sure you are!
Take care and have peaceful weekend!
p.s. STAY IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH YOUR GP/CLINICAL PRACTITIONER ...AND GET HOSPITAL SUPPORT IF YOU REALLY NEED TOO!
