Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt. I also got to the same point after many years of "treatment" and trying every medication out there. I finally got to the point where I realized I needed to accept my demons, maybe even embrace them. The paradoxical effect was that I actually do a little better, now that I stopped fighting it full-time. I think the fight is a huge part of the problem. Sleep problems still exist, but again, not fretting over it has made sleep a little better. Acceptance is a powerful tool. I've been medication-free for about 8 years, and have no desire to ever get on that bandwagon again.
I wish you the best!
