Default Sleeping Problems?

I'm starting to think i am suffering from a combination of narcolepsy and insomnia.
I cant sleep at all, i can go around 48 hours without sleep fairly easy. It starts to hurt after that, feels like my eyes hurt, feels like I'm drunk.
I am not staying awake for the fun of it, i try to sleep, but i just lie there. Its pretty horrible.
Recently though, i have started to just fall asleep in random places, and wake up not realizing that i went to sleep.

The "insomnia" part has been going on for a couple of months now, and the "narcolepsy" part started about 2 weeks ago.

Could this be insomnia and narcolepsy?
What can i expect if i go to the doctors about it? I have severe depression which i think could be the cause of all of this, but i don't want to talk to him about that.

I don't like talking about stuff to people. I find it hard enough talking to people on the internet.

How easy do you think it will be to talk to my doctor, who is a complete retard. Add in the fact that i can't understand him because hes a paki.

Have you considered switching your GP? A nice relationship with your doctor is a must.

Well, the odds are that it is linked with your depression.

I am sure you could get some sleeping pills that works for a while, but you should really try to tackle the root of the problem.

I'm guessing that the sleeping problems is linked to the depression, since the problems got worse when the depression got worse.
I would rather just get rid of the sleeping problems for now, and deal with the depression on my own.

Man, you should always try to remedy the cause, not the symptoms. But, either way, good luck.

Oh I'm going to start drinking again. See if that helps me sleep.
