Too many bats in the belfry

Haven't posted lately because I can't get my mind to settle down to one thing. Here's what I've been thinking of lately:

Are American women as a whole better or worse off now that we are largely in the paid workforce (and thus have independent means) but have no domestic help?
What kind of "success" do I really want for my son, and is my parenting leading him in that direction?
Is it better to go off my meds and be angry but care about things again, or to stay on them and be less angry but more apathetic about my career/life/health etc.?
