I just came across your post. I'm so glad that the acupuncture helped your meridians to open up. Grief has a way of sneaking up on you when your body needs to release the pressures of life. I think that with all the planets lining up, the solar eclipses, and the intense energies around the planet have also contributed to the enormous density that many of us have been feeling over the past couple of months. I too, had thought of doing meds for my depression, but I know that it has to be something from within that needs to come to the surface. So, we press through and sleep as best we can, listen to our bodies when we need to be quiet, and take a break from routine. It all helps to get us back to center and allow our energy to balance once again. I feel for you, and believe you will have major breakthroughs going forward. Be strong! ♥
