Lately I’ve become extremely introverted. I just want to be home all the time. I almost get anxious when it comes to going out with friends. The older I get the worse I get. I feel like I’m alienating all my friends. I’m a very social person at work and my co workers are the people I talk with most. I work full time and I want to be home with my kids and husband when I’m not. I feel like I see so many people my age out constantly and I wonder why I have absolutely no desire to do this. Anyone else out there feel the same?!

My son is 9 and has struggled with allergies and asthma. He is currently on a daily inhaler as well as an albuteral inhaler that he uses as needed. We have been seeing a specialist and when we came back for a check up after starting all these it showed he’s not improving like they would have hoped. He is in all sports and really struggles to run. I feel like at his age and being in all sports plus being a smaller kid he should be able to keep up better. I’m not sure if he’s just not great at this or if he’s struggling. The daily inhaler has helped as far as I can tell. His doctor recommended allergy immunotherapy. I’m on the fence about it. On one hand I think it could help but on the other it’s a huge commitment and I know nothing about it. Does anyone has any experience with it? Good, bad?

I have always been an anxious person. Like really bad. In high school I struggled bad because I was nervous all the time about sports and school. To the point I wouldn’t eat or sleep. In college it got better and I seemed to manage it more. Once I had kids it all went out the window though. My daughter is 6 now and I got on 50mg of sertraline after she was born. It helped but lately I feel as if I’ve gotten worse. I worry about everything. Anything I do I overthink to the point I never end up doing it because I can’t make a decision. I’ve been to 4 therapists in the past and I just don’t feel like I’ve clicked with any of them. I guess my point of this is to kind of let it out in the air but also ask if anyone else is like this and what are some things that help? Sometimes I feel as if I’m the only one.

I am struggling. I am spiraling about the economy and money. My husband and I do pretty well and I am adamant I am retiring at 50. We make about $300K between us. He is self employed and maxes out his retirement. I contribute 25% into mine. We also have investment accounts and 529 plans set up for our 2 kids. We also have some investment accounts we play around with. I have been at my job about 10 years and my net pay really hasn’t gone up much because I just increase my 401k contribution. With that being said, I feel like all my friends are just living the life and constantly shopping and buying everything. Meanwhile I’m second guessing my grocery shopping because it’s insanely expensive. I KNOW in the long run I’ll be happy I did but for right now I feel as if I’m the only one that thinks about money. I also do want to go and splurge but my anxiety is high and I’m so worried about what the economy is going to do. WHY AM I LIKE THIS?! Is anyone else crazy like me?

I am considering getting a standing desk and walking pad. Is it worth it? Can you walk and type without falling to your death?
If this is a possibility does anyone have any desk recommendations? I do have 3 monitors so I would need a larger desk.
