Well all the things you describe is symptoms of depression and can also lead to depression. Depression can be on many several levels and is not the same for everyone. If you don't feel you get the right treatment you just have to find another Doctor Who listens to you.
A bit more:This can be a vicious cycle. Stress in itself can result in lack of sleep, which results in physical (and mental) exhaustion and, as the first answerer said, all of these can also be signs of depression. But they are not always signs of depression, so you do need to find another doctor if your current one is not listening to you.In the meantime, if at all possible, find a way to deal to deal with what ever it is that's causing the stress. And it is crucial that you get enough sleep! One really good proven method of dealing with stress and lack of sleep is exercise. I'm sure that's not what you want to hear, but it really does help.
Walking a brisk 30 minutes a day can give you the exercise you need, while at the same time, giving you some quiet time to yourself to think about all that may be going on in your life to cause the stress.
It's extremely difficult to deal with stress, lack of sleep, and exhaustion all at the same time, so you may need to prioritize by dealing with one at a time. If you feel you could deal with the stress if you had enough sleep, then do physical exercise, take melatonin, and other non prescription ways to do so. But if you do need prescription sleeping pills for only a short while, then by all means, ask your doctor for a prescription for them.
The bottom line though, you have to deal with one before you can deal with the other. And once you get one under control, the others will be much easier to also get under control.
