Natural (Homeopathic?) Treatments for Feeling Sad, Tired, Hopeless?

Question by Sarah: Natural (homeopathic?) treatments for feeling sad, tired, hopeless?
I am purposely avoiding using the word “depression” because I don’t think being diagnosed and “put on meds” is the answer for me.

About six months ago one of my dearest cousins died in a paragliding accident. I had to stop seeing my therapist, because she felt I should be in couples therapy with my husband, and she knew he would not want to pay for both. He always complained about the cost of my therapist, and about the chore of submitting her invoices to our health ins. for reimbursement. We only went to couples therapy once b/cos he complained about the trouble & cost of getting a babysitter so that we could go, as well as the time he felt he could be spending “getting things done”.

Now another dear cousin has died unexpectedly and I’m not dealing well. I feel lonely even when I’m with people, and lately I’m avoiding social events because I feel like sleeping. I hug my kids a lot and keep smiling at work, I’m working out when I can, but I need to get out of this funk…

I would like to send my condolences. You have had a terrible time lately. It would not be the worst thing in the world to take antidepressants. It won’t make your pain go away. It just helps you function during your grief. If you love your children, you will do everything in your power to give them their mother back. My heart goes out to you.
