I cannot reveal the details of my personal experience, but it was this situation that once sent me to intensive care and since then I have not kept more than 2-3 sleeping pills at home.
besides, working with a good psychiatrist gave me a lot -and its really hard to find one in the western world. Jordan Peterson have to go to Russia to find one -

Here are some of the important insights that helped me get out of my condition and may help you too (I’ll make a reservation right away, this is a personal experience and I recommend projecting it onto myself ONLY with the help of an experienced doctor):
1) Nerves can be restored - this is a fact, and in the brain they are restored especially - a damaged nerve in the body has a much lower regeneration limit but it is, but the brain is a very flexible organ, evolutionarily it was created to adapt us as a speice
2) Drugs called antidepressants are a plague only because they are prescribed to just anyone by inexperienced doctors, and oversensitive soy feminists who fight for the rights of refugees have already fucked up twitter and doctors around with stories about their depression.
In fact, especially triple-acting antidepressants (not just serotonin ones) have an increased potential to restore neurons and neural connections in the brain. It is necessary to choose the dose and the drug, and this is difficult, up to six months of experiments under the supervision of a doctor. BUT on drugs, this happens many times faster and this is a proven fact, look at pubmed. Trazodone is an excellent drug for sleep and recovery from the heavy antidepressants, for the treatment of mild depressive disorder, but against the background of other drugs such as Valdoxan, for example, is considered as a weak.
3) Other drugs may be needed, such as GABA drugs and \ or antipsychotics. but first of all you need a doctor
4) I realized that how we train dogs - you hear a whistle - sit down and give a paw. so we can train ourselves by simple habits. The smell of Provence lavender oil, one special song and the bed where I go ONLY to sleep - formed a habit for me - at first on drugs, but over time, as a dog begins to follow a command without a treat, so a person without drugs, receiving incentives, simply follows the formed neural way - a habit. Lavender, music, bed - sleep. It works. just not right away.
I understand your problem because I went through it myself, and I hope my experience will be useful, however, I repeat - this is a personal experience and I recommend projecting it onto yourself ONLY with the help of an experienced doctor
