Fascinating how OP will explicitly mention to not do the "well just do x" thing, but people do it anyway. You're not doctors and OP has likely already tried all those things if he's having damn suicidal thoughts.

Really sorry about your condition though yo. Can't imagine what its like to not sleep when you need to and the impact it has on your life. On the bright side 4 days out of the week is pretty good for that disorder, and maybe it'll get better with years and time. Sounds like you need a therapist though. A therapist and some financial and residential independence.

I just did a google search out of curiosity though, and learned that there are a lot of A list celebrities with insomnia as well, like Rihanna, George Clooney, and even Madonna. So hey, its not the end of the world.

you're doing it too though

"sounds like you need a therapist"

also insomnia is an extremely complex disorder with a multivariate pathology. it's naïve of OP to assume he has exhausted every single treatment possible for something like insomnia just because he's had it since he was 10.

No problem man, some people don't understand that sometimes you just want people to listen and aren't always looking for "advice". Mad ignorance in this thread from non-insomniacs who would never understand (not that I have insomnia, but I understand I will never understand).

Anyway if you're insured consider therapy to talk about these thoughts. And be upfront about it the next place you work, my workplace now is pretty flexible with my coworkers with sleeping problems. Maybe there will be some treatment for it in the future.

That’s rough to go through for sure. A lot of times medications can work, but since you’ve been in and out on using them, a lot of daily routine things may help more. cutting screen time, doing relaxing things before bed. i found showering at night, and cleaning my bedding makes a cozier area. also the exercise and proper diet/water to not be thirsty or have other body signals keeping you awake. you know your body best and over time with more medical opinion you’ll be able to figure this out. good luck, op.
