    When you write ‘drop you shoulders and take the deepest breath you have taken all day’ it staggers me that I haven’t asphyxiated myself as I realise my shoulders are up around my ears and I’m holding my breath 😂

    When you do the drop your shoulders and take the deepest breath it always makes me cry . I think its because it's such an act of kindness to us all and I know that thousands of people are all doing it at the same time . Just as you are kind to us lauren, you need to be kind to yourself . Thank you for being so vulnerable on this video and a virtual hug from me . ❤

    I've been a silent watcher for a while now but just wanted to say I am so glad that you included the stretching and breathing at the end again this week! I joined in and had immediate tears just falling out my eyes, was exactly what I needed after a long day! Your videos really make my day whenever I watch, and I'm just so grateful that you take the time to put them together to show real life. Looking forward to next week 🤍

    Just wanted to say, I stopped taking prozac after 5+years in December, and the increase in emotion is overwhelming at times - i have found it useful to purposefully watch sad or moving films / tv / reels to allow the emotion to flow without having to revisit trauma / the past. That has been cathartic and gave me a safer way to have a good cry.
    Thank you for your vulnerability and willingness to share what's going on with you. Normalising mental health struggles is so important. I really hope the coming weeks are as steady and manageable as possible xax

    My therapist recently made the floodgates open when she asked me "have you ever been able to put it down?" ('it' being whatever you're carrying... it's different for each person, it can be pressure/expectations/stress/worry/fear, etc.) I burst into tears. I feel like I have never been able to set it down. I am always going, always busy, always taking care of others, always selfless. Realizing that I have always carried so much was awful and I allowed myself to be vulnerable in that moment which was very much needed. Even those of us who are extremely self-aware have blind spots about ourselves. Everyone says "feel your feelings" these days, its like a throwaway line, but it's the most difficult thing actually. If you can allow yourself to feel them, cry them out, breathe through it, set it down, trust me you will start to feel lighter and better xo

    Lovely Lauren ❤ thank you for sharing your journey. When the feelings start coming back after anti depressant’s; they come back BIG. Loved the yoga element ! After much trauma myself I did yoga last week for the first time in years and I felt like I was floating on a cloud after! Slept so well too which proved to me how much of a toll stored trauma has on our mind and body. Thank you for being you Lauren - you’re so kind and loving - we all appreciate you and keep going how you are - you’re doing so well it’s so good to see 💐💞

    Oh Lauren you looked lovely for the wedding as did Emma. I can fully relate to you being on antidepressants and coming off. I had been on them for many years and came off 3 years ago. It was very difficult…not only the crying but the tiredness and anger sometimes taking over. Hopefully I am getting beyond that now but it can come back when under stress. I wish you the best and remember to be kind to yourself. Try not to be so busy…relax. We do not have to fill every moment with something!! Until next week! Enjoy your week. 👋🏼🇨🇦❤️❤️❤️

    Lauren, sending lots of love. I have been where you are and went into counselling and have now finished after 6 years. Journaling through 3 large journals crying and sitting with my emotions taught me that the trauma, judgments, shame and guilt fear I felt was because as a child young adult mother and wife I had attached emotions to them. No medications in 25 years, courage to walk from my marriage go back to school at 54 after 4 years I graduated the same day my divorce was final the date was 10/11/2020. You are strong and that little girl inside is jumping for joy ready to explore life. Take care look forward to seeing you grow in ways you never imagined possible ❤

    Lauren-I know you have spoken about having anxiety. Have you ever considered ADHD? The only reason I ask is because I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 37, and was misdiagnosed with anxiety for many years and none of the medications worked because it wasn’t what I was dealing with-the anxiety was a side effect of ADHD. Also it presents very differently in women than in men. Anyway-here to support you on your mental health journey. Thanks for posting ❤ 😊

      I was thinking the same! I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until 39. I was beginning to think I had treatment resistant depression and anxiety. Yes, I have depression, but being on ADHD medication has made things so much better! I'm glad you found the right support, and I hope Lauren can too!

      Mom calls Sharpies ‘stubbies’ I absolutely adore her! The both of you are so funny together! When mom pulled that hair from your nose, I felt it here in the states! 😂 But on a more serious note, when you said to place our hand on our body, my hands went immediately to my scar from having a total thyroid removal as it was cancerous. I have stage 3 metastatic ovarian cancer Lauren and my thyroid was one of a few places my cancer has spread to. I will to the day I take my last breath, cry instantly when I touch my incision and remember my doctor telling me, “Joany, you had thyroid cancer but now you are “thyroid cancer-free.” Just hearing those words I’ve long to hear was like I was dreaming and at that moment I was grateful to God there was one cancer they could get! That’s what I wish for all my ovarian cancers gals, is that one day we’ll be told they have found us a cure. It’s been a long journey these last 21 years and I’ve had no fun. With that being said Lauren, I fight the good fight every day as I have since 2003. I was 49-years-old when I was diagnosed and I’m now 70 and I’m on a daily chemotherapy pill that has so far kept me stable a few years, and if it stops working, I’ll cross that bridge when and if I have to. Until then I’d like to say I know how beautiful life is and can be for all of us no matter what we are dealing with, but I’ve lost my way it seems. I’m suffering with such emotional sadness. My body has been through so much. I have lost all motivation and my cat Luca is my only comfort. I am physically disabled, unable to walk and exercise because cancer treatments have affected my joints. I weigh 330 lbs and I’m so ashamed of myself. I’m on depression medication. They help a little, but I cry a lot. I have more years behind me than in front of me my love. But we can’t keep looking back can we? we’re not going that way. We must move forward! Does it ever get easier?
      I love your videos and tonight was my favorite video. When you were loving on that gorgeous cat, I cried when you cried. I get it too Lauren. And you showed us a beautiful side of yourself that I thought took such bravery and courage to say. We all adore you💗I live in the 🇺🇸 USA in Rhode Island and I love you.
      ❤️ ❤ ❤

    Stopping anti-depressant can be a real struggle. I had to stop mine with the help of my doctor... one major SIDE EFFECT was "you could get suicidal thoughts". The overflow of emotions is normal. Your body has to adapt to life without meds. I've been keeping a daily GRATITUDE journal. I also have one for "BRAIN DUMPING" when I'm too overwhelmed/anxious/emotional. I write a few words or sentences as soon as I get up in the morning. I keep it short and sweet. I also do "THE DAILY PRACTICE" (from the you tuber: The Crappy Childhood Fairy), when I'm in a really bad spot. It helps to re-regulate my emotions. I'm a much better human being for it. I totally recommend it. Sending you a big hug 💖💖💖

    Oh my goodness Lauren, I stopped taking antidepressants 4 weeks ago after 3 years….. in the same way you did 😂
    The crying … at anything or nothing and irritation and anger at everyone….. I’ve been numb for so long, that experiencing emotion is unsettling for me, but I’m doing my best not to judge and chastise myself. On the up side I do actually feel alive again and have the starts of feelings of excitement for the future (once I actually decide on what I want to do and where I want to be).
    It was comforting for me to hear you talk of your experiences. ❤

    ❤❤❤ thank you for this Lauren it was exactly what i needed at exactly the right time. Looking forward to the journaling vidoe. Doing these things along with you helps me so much. I actually do it instead of genuinely intending to and getting so side tracked i end up just being too exhausted and put off untill tomorrow and repeat again and again. You are my virtual friend who helps me take the time for myself instead of ignoring my needs and care. Never miss a post of yours even if it takes a day for me to watch. Pls keep being lovely you and sharing ❤❤❤

    Thank you for being so raw and real about coming off meds. I feel so low right now i feel like ive been hit by a bus full of emotions. I have surpressed for so long that its starting to spill out abit now. But i have to be strong as i have people to care for but i know i am not caring for myself at all. Im just full of anger and sadness its overwhelming and i needed to see this vulnerability from yourself to not feel so alone in this. So thank you. Youre the best 🥰

    Citalopram is a weird but effective med .. it doesn’t allow u to keep a negative thought … which helps so much but also impedes getting the feelings out ! Win / lose . I’ve been on n off this med for many years … ❤

    Good luck with coming off the anti depressants, I know that's not an easy task. I love the deep breath exercise you do halfway through. I always think "Oh, yeah!" and relax. Beautiful words at the end. I also love Chelsea! Thank you lovely lady.

But I always overcome. Getting to FULLY feel is a blessing. Even though it can feel like a curse some days. But on the REALLY good days I'm so thankful.

    I feel like Ikea is the same everywhere. I live in Canada and ours are the same except you wouldn't see a sign saying fill your trolley😆 it would say fill your cart! I loved the pics of the wedding and the Pride picnic and glad you enjoyed it. In my 20's I was on anti depressants and went off them like you did ( I am now 67 ) It was good for me and do not remember anything that happened during that time. I love your videos and please just keep being yourself.

    There were so many beautiful pics of both you and Emma in this vlog. You both look so stunning together. I LOVED this vlog. ❤ "Stubbies?" I relate to you in so many ways... it's uncanny. {{{Hugs}}}❤ P.s. I'm a certified personal trainer as well. I recently retired. My last job before I retired, for 11 years, was a group exercise instructor & a certified personal trainer. You made me cry......... it's a good thing.
