I'm another insomniac tonight/today - I've been browsing and posting here since the small hours. I'm on an upswing though - my insomnia is part of that, I get hypomanic in the evening, esp. if I'm on the computer.
Other times I do get the downs like you, where it seems that anything that works has intolerable side effects, makes my sleep problems worse, or hasn't yet been released for A/D use. And then all those feelings of shame and frustration and pessismism rush back in. I too haven't worked for a year - only just now thinking I might be getting enough stability to try part-time work.
Even a little alcohol can quickly get me into the "poor-me"s. There was also a study a while ago that showed alcohol significantly increased anger measurements in "normal" people (not on meds or heavy drinkers) in quite small doses.
Hang in there, there's company here.
