Oh Mrs Bennet - I can totally relate. I have a family filled with all kinds of health issues - I won't expand - also a very long story. At our time of life a combination of stresses all seem to come together. Financial problems are really the final straw for me.
Mental health problems like your mother's are probably the most difficult things to handle.
You are not your mother's keeper and if you don't take care of yourself you will be no use to anybody. It sounds as though you and your lovely family all need a treat.
I'm afraid i'm not sure what propranolol is - I assume it is a AD. If it is then they take time to work.
I'm not sure how much you will get from herbal remedies - i tried so many for meno symptoms with no benefit but I find the Herbal Nytol is helpful at times. I sometimes think that instead of spending on herbal remedies you could just treat yourself to something that gives you a mental lift - a new haircut, a quiet coffee with a friend in a cafe - spoil yourself occasionally.
Keep posting.
Take care
