Im so tired & depressed like the whole worlds on meThe most frustrating part is I cant sleep HEL

You cannot sleep because your brain is fighting hard to do it's job.

Sleep is when the brain sorts out all our daily thoughts, experiences and emotions and files them away in the recesses of our brains. If we are stressed and/or depressed, the brain goes into overtime. You will probably have very small cat naps. This is when REM sleep occurs which is when the brain does it's sorting work, rather like a little post office. Normally, when we sleep, we go into a very deep sleep for about an hour, then we would have about 20 minutes REM sleep when we are only lightly asleep, and then back to deep sleep again, although not as deeply as previously. This pattern continues throughout the night.

When we are stressed and/or depressed, the deep sleep is reduced or even removed as the brain tried frantically to do it's sorting job.

We then become more tired because we are not getting the deep sleep we need for our bodies to regenerate.

Relaxation techniques are very good for helping the brain calm down to start it's sorting work effectively. It's a bit like us when we try to do too many things at once. We don't get anything done properly.
