The curtains in your son’s room are fine. Simply arrange them so that the lighter tan panel is in the center and the sage colors are on each end. That would look fine and save you $.

Sugar, I’m giving you the biggest hug in the world. You’re doing a great job, and you’re an inspiration to all of us to just keep on going when we’re feeling overwhelmed. ❤

[@lisaaamoun3520]

You are so sweet Lauren. I’m sorry you have OCD and anxiety. Your openness helps de stigmatize judgement around these issues. I also struggle. I feel better about myself after watching your video.

[@J.O.Y.andArt]

Everything looks AMAZING!!! Great job! Please know you are not alone in your struggles with anxiety, better times are coming!❤❤❤

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

A true friend is the one who stands for you when no one does. Happy birthday, Lauren. May God bless you, James, and boys! Always stay this amazing person you are and keep shining bright!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you so much Alma!! I appreciate you!!❤️🥰

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

​@LaurenMidgley you're welcome, sweet friend. I appreciate you. Please continue to pray for me. My last 2 wisdom teeth popped through a few weekends ago and I can't get into the dentist till my birthday, June 5. Plus, still waiting to see the neurologist about the tumor on my left temporal lobe. I see him on June 12.

[@lisaclevenger2100]

Oh Lauren…I have dealt with anxiety and depression for many years. The best thing you can do for yourself is to be open and honest about it rather than trying to hide it. Which is exactly what you’re doing. You are not alone. My heart aches for you because I remember how difficult things could be when my children were younger. I applaud you for being the best advocate for yourself. Take care sweetie. Love your videos❤️

[@annw1395]

Happy Birthday! When mowing the lawn, there's that instant gratification of seeing the longer, scragglier grass instantly change into short, smooth, even grass. Satisfying!

[@relliot1000]

My son has similar issues and I often go clean his room just to give him a fresh start and a break from overwhelm when he’s in there. So many little toys EVERYWHERE 🤣

[@michellerosenberger7104]

I absolutely love your channel. Thank you for sharing your mental health journey. When you struggle with mental myself being someone that has battles that issue its nice to not feel alone. Not that I take joy in hearing your stories on battling mental health but it's a very long lonely path when your stuck in the storm.

[@jaimiegreenwald2465]

I have struggled with anxiety since I was a child as well. Lexapro works wonders for me!!! I will admit though, I stopped taking the meds for years but now I am at a point where I accept it is what I need and recognize that I function so much better as a person and a mom if I take the medication.

[@rijd2304]

One of the best tools I have is a journal notebook called Throw It Away by Guru Notebooks. It helps me to think through what I'm trying to get rid of, I get too emotionally attached.

[@maureenwatson9897]

…also , thank you for your mental health update. I suffer too so I understand. You are so brave and are helping others with your honesty. You will get through this and happier days are ahead❤️

[@kellieh1579]

I’m glad you decided to get back on your Zoloft. Hopefully you’re feeling better soon. Anxiety is miserable. I take Lexapro and it’s a life saver. Looking forward to more videos. Also, Happy Birthday! 🎉🎈🎂

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you for telling me that! It’s comforting to know how many other people have to take an SSRI to feel okay!❤️

[@sarahrking]

Yes I also take Lexapro along with seeing my therapist regularly. Lots of self care and being kind to myself, too (which I’m still working on 🙃)

[@sabrinaespinoza9783]

I'm also on lexapro it has worked for me, I know every one I'd different. Good luck on ur journey ❤

[@rosieabreu8124]

You’re so sweet!!! Thanks for sharing your experience with anxiety. I’m sure many of us have experienced some type of emotional breakdown. I have really bad OCD and I know how difficult it is but you’re doing awesome. Also, I’ve been enjoying your decluttering/cleaning videos. ❤

[@donna8264]

Happy Birthday 🎂!!! Even though it may not be easy, thank you for sharing your mental health journey! For those of us that have anxiety it helps knowing we’re not alone. Take care of yourself and here’s to the next year being one of healing and happiness!! 💜

[@AcC7314]

I've been in that season where u are. I promise, it will get better & you'll be stronger on the other side. Sunshine is a big game changer, for sure! May also want to try a sunlamp. Helps on the cloudy days & winter time. Hope you're back to feeling like yourself again soon!

[@judithwoomer7747]

I hope your feeling better Lauren. I also am on Zoloft and just had my dosage doubled. I can definitely feel the difference. The curtains in your sons room look fine, just put the beige one in the middle and the green ones on each end. Don't spend money when you don't have to.❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋❤❤🦋🦋

[@robindozier6529]

I'm so sorry you haven't been feeling well. Don't worry about the videos. Just take care of yourself. ❤

[@nadinewilliamson1037]

First happy birthday. Another option for the attic door...Why not switch the bed and large dresser to the other wall. If you don't use the attic access often you could put the land dresser in front of it. For the curtains, just move the tan in the middle with the green on each end. It will look much better and save money.

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you!! And we actually had the room like that at one point but it just felt awkward :/ funny enough I think I’ve tried every single room layout option lol! Thankfully my husband doesn’t mind moving furniture for me! And, you are so smart with the curtain idea!!!

[@christinemirarchi3289]

Happy Birthday dear Lauren! I just want you to know that I understand COMPLETELY what you are dealing with. You will feel better once the medication kicks in. I’ve had a VERY similar experience as you and same type of anxiety. (Since I was young and now I’m in my 60’s) Zoloft has been a God send for me for years! I know every person is different and has to do what works best for them, but I’m glad you had good results from Zoloft before and hope it helps again soon! Hugs from northeastern Pennsylvania 😊💕

[@JOANNBATES-sd3sy]

Take care of your family and yourself first. We'll be here for you! God Bless!

[@Math_ilda]

Always so satisfying your cleaning motivation videos ! In this one (ok also in every cleaning videos 😅) when I've seen how your trash can was overflowing, I was hoping you'll film the struggle to take the trash out 🤭 I also hope that whenever you'll have nicer paper clutter like magazines, clothes stores catalogues/flyers or mostly any old clothes that can't be donated, that you'll film while discarding some as they're the things I struggle the most to toss.

[@joannebernard293]

Aweee... we love you girlll! We're always here whenever you're ready. I feel so validated already.. not even at the 2 minute mark yet. This is why I love your channel so much Lauren. You're so real. & so real with us.. & girl.. you are not alone. Which is why I feel... so validated. I'm so sorry you're feeling that way, but I want you to know you're not alone.. I've been feeling.. ugh! Idk I'm just in a rut & my anxiety is so bad. I feel very unmotivated. I'm happy you're here today tho! I'm excited to keep watching. Also, HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY!! 🥳🥳💕💕🤗🤗🌸🌸💪💪🎉🎉

[@jaimiegreenwald2465]

For the curtains in your son’s room, just move one green panel to the other end and hav the beige curtains between to two green on the end. It will work perfectly and look intentional. 😊

You did a good job! I love mowing the yard too!

[@brandyoctober5923]

I definitely have health anxiety and I go through a few months where the worries consume every minute of my life then i go a few months with nothing bad in my head. I have been this way since i was a child. If someone has a health problem then i suddenly have that too. It’s definitely consuming. I’m sorry to hear you’re going through that too. ❤

[@LaurenMidgley]

Oh my goodness that is me exactly! Even if I happen to scroll past an Instagram post about someone having an illness, it will consume my thoughts for days after. I have to filter everything I see or listen to to try and not “trigger” the thoughts. It’s exhausting. I’m sorry you suffer from it too!!❤️

[@mirandamccoy6114]

I always loved mowing too so I understand, but now I have Ménière’s disease so I’m unable to do it or clean like I used too. Love your channel

[@stephaniealaia769]

Happy birthday 🎈🎂🎉🎊🎁 Lauren!! I hope you have a great day! And I can relate to you I been going through bad anxiety lately and depression. I just recently had surgery had get 2 cysts removed and a partial hysterectomy and it’s only been a month since surgery and I’m still recovering but I’ve been taken this hard been rough going through menopause and not having kids and I agree with you that this has been such a hard year for me September I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and then this surgery and few years ago I lost half my eye site I had a cataracts surgery never helped so things have been rough for me. But your videos give me joy I love when you share you’re cleaning or organizing & thrifting. I have been told to take meds to help my anxiety I’m nervous but looking into it. My thoughts are with you! I hope you have a great week! 😊💜

[@beachlover4413]

Happy Birthday, Lauren. I hope you have a better and wonderful year!! I also hope you are feeling better soon! I also loved mowing the lawn. First, because I could be outside, second, because no one could talk to me so it was my time and third, because a mowed lawn looks pretty longer than a vacuumed room (which is destroyed in minutes). It is funny because I had made a trade with my husband that I would do the lawn (which he hated doing) and he would vacuum but of course, I ended up doing both.

[@LaurenMidgley]

That is so funny bc I think that’s why I like it too🤪 it gives me a little alone time where no one bugs me lol! And thank you so much!!🥰❤️

I had awful PPD/PPA after my first. The anxiety especially was so so bad! I went on Zoloft and it was a game changer. Was on it for almost 3yrs (until I got preggo and had to go off). Thankfully, I didn’t have PPD/PPA with the second, so I didn’t need Zoloft anymore, but was finally Dx ADHD! Currently on ADHD meds and it’s so helpful!! There is still such a stigma (esp with moms) surrounding meds that treat/manage mental health issues. Like if a med makes ur life easier, why on Earth wouldn’t u take it?? Lots of ppl think moms should just bare knuckle it…yeah, no thank you!

Blessings Lauren🤗 I know exactly where you are coming from. I have suffered from severe anxiety and it is debilitating. Your meds will kick in and you will be just fine. I tried to get off mine many many times and it just kept coming back and I finally gave in and accepted that my imbalance I had in my brain needed the meds. I have taken celexa for many years. I needed more serotonin in my brain. Don't feel bad about taking it. If you were diabetic you would take your meds... Right? People need their insulin when they have diabetes. You are ok honey. I bless you in JESUS name. Thank you for sharing. 🤗❤️
