Have you tried reconditioning? There's many reconditioning methods out there to help with insomnia i.e. do not do work in bed etc. Have you ever done CBT ] you could try it out yourself to see whether it works for you. However, CBT is best when it's done with a therapist.
If you need a book that you can relate to about your depression, my favourite would be this:

Thank you for the response.
The most recent psychiatrist was just as terrible as the first therapist was. I've heard of reconditioning but there seems to be very limited resources where I live. Everyone here just pushes medication and the doctors don't want to be helpful. I went to the last person several times for therapy and all she did was kept asking questions with no suggestions...with my anxiety it's really hard for me to answer questions over and over again...I get overwhelmed and I get so anxiety ridden I can't answer. The only suggestion she made was if you can't sleep in bed get up and do something else till you're tired...which I do. But it's usually me finally feeling sleepy around 6am and waking back up around 9am...
