James I wonder if your anxiety is keeping you up and maybe depression, that you won't be able to keep a good job.

Maybe a few sessions with a psychiatrist would be beneficial. You are not a mental case, just need the tools to get over this. Self talk is easy to learn and has the power to calm down anxiety issues.

I've seen therapists, but this sleep issue is something that I've had for a very long time, for as long as I can remember, since I was a young child. Due to the nature of the sleep issue, my sleep pattern resets itself, so I'll be on a normal sleep pattern for a few days, and during that time I'll feel better, since I won't be depressed about my sleep pattern, but I'll fall asleep a bit later every night no matter how I'm feeling, even if I'm relaxed. Like I've said before, my sleep-wake cycle is isochronous, regardless of how I'm feeling. It's just slightly longer than normal, and that causes the times at which I wake up and fall asleep to go entirely around the clock.

So while I definitely think the sleep issue causes depression, I don't think depression causes it. I've also had a lot of trouble with school, which has caused me to feel upset, but the sleep condition is a contributing factor. There are definitely different "layers" as to how the issues are related. Some of the school issues can be attributed to other innate differences, which a change in the school environment would likely solve, but the changes that would solve the other issues I've had with school wouldn't work, due to the sleep issue. So I think that the sleep issue needs to be treated as it's own thing, even if it may be related to other innate differences, because I can't change my neurology, I can only work with it.
