Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that.

We have an adult son living with us, and he is responsible for his health decisions. I keep my mouth shut until he asks, and I only answer what he asks about.
