So much of what you say strikes a chord in me.

Yep, I am from England

You can't beat yourself up about the depression - what's important is how you move on from it - and it sounds like you are doing well.

CBT is quite good on sleep issues. Have you got a 'clean' sleep regime? I had a lot of trouble sleeping and got quite hooked on the sleep meds - they really don't help long term. The visulisations and a good clean sleep routine are much better. Also don't just lie there tossing and turning.If you can't sleep get up and do something relaxing and then go back and try again later.
