Default rely on VS. lean on

Hello,

I would appreciate if you could help me with these two synonyns - rely on and lean on. Are they complete synonyms?

Is it correct to say:
- You can rely on me in this situation.
and
- You can lean on me in this situation.

- I could rely only on my destiny.
and
- I could lean only on my destiny.

Thank you in advance
