If you are suffering from Hypothyroidism, then excessive sleepiness, especially during the day is one of the common symptoms. This along with the other effects may prevent you from following a healthy daily routine and therefore be the cause of a lot of other complications.
Next Steps
Check the dosage of your medication again with your physician. Since you mentioned that you are undergoing some mental stress, please consult a Psychologist.

Hi I can understand your feeling of helplessness. There is a lot of variation in your hormones which is also causing you stress in different things , it may be a vice versa. due to your feeling of stress and anxiety may be you are not able to sleep at right time. But any time have you tried to over come the stress what you are experiencing. with one or two symptoms it can not be concluded as depression. Don't feel scared or to be afraid, please approach to psychologist / psychiatrist for analysis and get better guidance. stay positive take care
