Better consult a specialist. Surely there is some exercise that works for you. It will also be helpful to have a diet program that fits on you.

Try yoga? Does wonders for everything you mentioned there (including depression.)

If you can, you're best off trying to get to a few classes.

Dude. When you find yourself slouching just sit up straight. make it a habit. And yoga.

I'm the same way. It's mental.

You could try a couple of these: http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/fitness/stretching/5-stretches-to-improve-posture.html#b

based on what you describe, i'd expect you to see impressive results just from getting up and walking daily, doing (LIGHT!) static stretching and/or yoga, stuff like that. remove the back from your chair (IF you can hold posture- if this causes you to go into a forward-slump, it'll be counterproductive).

when sitting at the pc for extended periods, try to get up frequently, even if it's just 30sec every 15-30min.

if you follow that for a couple weeks you'll notice improvement. then you can take the stretches to a deeper level, and start including light jogging. do your best to focus on posture whenever you can, like the way you walk.

is this purely an atrophy situation, or is a significant amount of this tension that's unrelated to your poor posture/atrophy? for instance, if you're dehydrated and not eating properly, you'll need to address that alongside the mechanical posture stuff. magnesium will probably offer you some level of amelioration. how do the upper-back muscles respond to warm/warm-hot showers? baths? massages?

looking for specific exercises is short-sighted, you need massive overhaul and you're short-changing yourself by looking for specific things. if you've been holding a static position in front of a screen for years, to the point your posture is this affected, you need a 180, not a single exercise/pill/tip.
