I have been feeling very different then I usually do latly. For as long as I can remember I"ve been a happy person and have never let much get to me. But lately Ive been acting strangly. This all started about a month and a half ago when my father had a non-fatal heart attack. A week later my boyfriend got in a car accident. They are both fine now but it was a bit of a tramatic week for me. This was also right when school started. Every night for the whole 1st week of school I would come home and just fall to peices. I felt overwhelmed and stressed but as my work load evened out I still felt the same. For the next 2 weeks I felt awful all the time. When I would see my boyfriend all my feelings would pour out and i would end up crying. He has been a great support system for me but for some reason when I feel bad I feel my worst around him. For the past week i have felt fine but now I feel right back where I started. My boyfriend used to suffer from depression and he said that I have some similar symptoms to his. Could I be depressed? ?

I can't tell you if you are depressed or not honey! But what I CAN say is this, ALWAYS look at the most common denominator! And in this case it seems to be your boyfriend! You have kind of answered your own question right now! You said that "when I would see my boyfriend all my feelings would pour out and I would end up crying" and the biggy " when I feel bad I feel my worst around him!" I don't know yours and his dynamics but If someone that used to be a happy go lucky person is all of a sudden falling apart ESPECIALLY around their boyfriend then something is wrong with that picture isn't there?
Even though stersses are an everyday occurance in peoples lives, it doesn't mean that they can't take over your life at a future point! You might have always been the one to go to before, the good daughter, the good girlfriend, the good student etc. And feel that you HAVE to be with your boyfriend even when you aren't really THERE!!!! So take a deeper look at that OK? Always strike off the common from your list of "What could it be's" OK?

Thats kinda hard to answer. Personally, it seems that it would be natural that you would have residual feelings resulting from the emotional roller coaster you had. I don't know what your relationship with your boyfriend is like, but if you're crying around him all the time, maybe its for comfort for the residual stuff, or maybe its like the I don't know how many % of us that have boyfriends that just make us feel like crying. Although, from what it sounds like, you just need some more time to feel like everything is steady, and the floor isn't going to pulled out from uner you- like your dad getting ill again, or some such thing.
Good luck, I hope everything works out the way you want it to, but we can be comforted in the knowledge that things will work out as God has planned.

It could be depression but then it could also be serious anxiety. Both have similar symptoms. I think that in light of what happened, it wouldn't be a bad idea to see a therapist for a period of time. What would you say to that?

Sounds like post-traumatic stress to me. Post-traumatic stress disorder can be seen as an overwhelming of the body's normal psychological defenses against stress. After the trauma (your fathers heart attack and your boyfriends car accident), there is abnormal function (dysfunction) of the normal defense systems, which results in certain symptoms. You should see your physician and talk to him/her about the symptoms you've been having. They might prescribe an antidepressant that will help you feel better or have you go to a psychologist or therapist.
I've been there before and I'm positive you will be back to normal, it just takes time to heal.
Lots of luck!
