I know what ya mean. I'm having insomnia too. It can be a symptom of depression but it's also a side effect of ADs. Mine is from Effexor XR. I didn't have insomnia until I started taking it several months ago. It had settled down but has reared it's ugly head again a few weeks ago and won't go away.
I think that not getting enough sleep can hinder your ability to see things properly. IMHO, I wouldn't be quitting your job. I am not familiar with any of the meds you are taking and I'm also curious if this is something that we will always have to live with.
Don't give up. Sometimes it's hard when you have so many bad days, been there done that, but it usually gets better if at least for awhile. Are you in therapy???
I'd like to turn the calendar back to before I got this depression too. This sucks!!! :(
Hang in there. I hope you're feeling more optimistic soon.
