Undermedicated, thanks for the positive thoughts! I don't know if you are looking for advice or not, but if you are, one thing I'd suggest is trying a sleep hypnosis recording. There are several apps for sleep hypnosis. I also like new age music by a musician named Deuter. Both these things help me some, although neither help as much as I'd like. Still, probably anything that helps at all with my industrial-strength insomnia will help some other people, too!
Wannabenormal18, that is really unfair and I wish you didn't have to go through that. There is a real problem with mental health care in our country. Far too many people cannot get the care they need. I have also run into doctors who saw patients as a source of cash, rather than as people they should help.
Perhaps you have tried this, but is there a privately run community clinic in your area? (This would not be the same as the County Mental Health Department, which is government funded and typically is able to see only people with extremely severe disorders, such as schizophrenia.) Community clinics are private and are funded mostly by donations. My community clinic would not see me because I did not have my PCP at their clinic. (Even though they agreed I was far too sick to use their PCPs.) But, perhaps you'd have better luck.
