I have jogged for about 3 months now, however, I can't get my breathing under control for the 45 minutes I do this. Any
suggestions?

How long can you go before your breathing loses control?

I have good days and bad days when it comes to breathing. My first recommendation for you would be to slow down. My breathing gets more labored the faster that I go. Find your happy pace and embrace it. Then after a few weeks (perhaps) you can try to decrease your time if you are not happy with your current happy pace.

I have been running consistently for about 9 months - that is 3 - 4 days a week. Last Saturday, I was able to run an hour without stopping, at a slow pace. But, even though I can do that, I have to push myself through the first 3 or 4 minutes because I can hardly breath. Then, it gets some better. I think mentally I still can't imagine that I can run and I panic when I start and think about how far I have to go. I try to force myself to breath in for a count of 3 or 4 and then breath out for that same count. It seems to help some. Also, slowing down is a good idea. I have read that you should do an easy run one day and hard run the next time. Hard can be longer at a slow pace, or same distance at a faster pace. The easy runs you should be going slow enough that you can carry on a conversation. The faster pace runs, probably not all the time. Doing this will increase both your aerobic endurance and help with speed.

Hope that helps some.

OK I'll try the slower pace instead. I find that I can work out longer at a slower pace like 4.0 instead of 5.3.
