Over ten years... ***sigh***

A combination of "primary insomnia" and depression over the course of years ground me down to the point where I could no longer do my job nor successfully handle many "activities of daily living." I crashed.

Your post makes me think you are close to a crash. Is there anyone treating you who knows the full extent of your struggles? Could you print your above post and hand it to a doctor or therapist or counselor of some kind?

This doesn't surprise me.

My personal opinion is that the professionals have to treat insomnia and depression as a kind of composite illness. An approach that treats them separately is less likely to be successful.
