Vague but...: I would suggest seeing a Dr., whom can hopefully direct you to the right type of therapy for your issues. There may be a sleep problem, but also may be stress or some emotional component that you need to be made aware of.

See sleep specialist: Sleep disorders cause more than just sleepiness. Emotional issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression cause half of all insomnia cases. The sleep specialist can find the cause of the insomnia and treat your condition properly.

Therapy/Meds: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
