I need some good idea on how to get to sleep when I am so depressed. I am finding it extremely difficult to fall asleep with fact I am disappointed with my girlfriend toking up too much, and other thing like me making lot of stupid mistake and being just a plain ***. Lately I have not been able sleep very well if she is not there, I get nightmares toss and turn in sleep, wake in middle of the night lonely. Think negatively in the middle of the night to point I think so deeply there no way in hell I can sleep through the night. What can I do?

All of the answers are great. i would suggest that you put in some Eucalyptus or lavendar essential oil or bath salts and that the bathe should be tepid(between warm and hot). Also, if you make your bed toasty warm and hope right into it after youhave bathed, you will fall asleep.
I agree that the television should not be in the bed room. The bed room should be used for sleep or sex.
The tepid, (between warm and hot) bathe with bath salts (which are designed to be relaxing, ddrink the sweet dreams team while in the tub, hop out of the bed into a warm toasty bed...that should do the trick.
Also, you should try and keep your bed time the same nightly and your body will be gain to get sleepy on it own because it is used to going to sleep at a certain time.

Hot bath was suggested by someone and I second it......but it must be done before you go to bed. Don't take the bath and then sit up for an hour watching TV. Speaking of TV, take it OUT of the bedroom and replace it with a CD player and CD's of Nature sounds (put on repeat and play low).
I also drink tea before bed (hot tea). Try Chamomile from Sweet Dreams... I blend my own *** Rosepetals, Lavender & Chamomile*** you can get the herbs from a New Age Shop. I use the tea to help my little girl get to sleep too.

It may or may not work but try soaking in a tub of the hottest
water you can put up with. This should relax you & let you sleep better.
