I'm not very good at this it is my first time commenting ,but I want you to know that you are really a great person and I love watching you your friend Joy from America

[@novavita2853]

I've watched you for years... years and years. Seen you at.... all different stages of life and I've never left a comment before but I wanted to tell you, in case you don't hear that enough, that I'm very proud of you. I was in a relationship with a very similar someone for 7 years. And... it ended honestly more than seven years ago but... I still struggle with trying to rewire my thought process to be what it was before I met them; one of empowerment and not.... one that makes me feel unworthy. It's hard especially as those people leave you in a place where... the future doesn't exist without them, you don't exist without them. It's then hard to figure out... what to do, about anything. Seeing you though, to go back and reclaim something that they took from you... that's really, really amazing and takes a lot of strength. You are worth it, you deserve to be happy, and I'm glad that you've reclaimed a piece of that happiness for your present and your future.

Hanging out with dogs is good for the soul and for self esteem. I think Biscuit was introduced at just the right time. 🤗

I love you Lauren. I want to give you a massive hug through the screen!! Hindsight is a wonderful thing and you are a stronger person having been through that with your ex. I've had my Romanian rescue dog Luna for 4 years now and she saved my life. They are great healers

[@charannefenn8780]

Hi dolly, you should really be so proud of yourself... I also suffer from anxiety and depression and know how hard daily tasks can be. I lost my husband to cancer last November and my sons have all grown up and living elsewhere so I know how the most simple of tasks can just be so draining. So I just wanted to say you are doing great and why not try instead of giving yourself a hard time give yourself some love ❤️. I absolutely love watching your videos and love your wee mum . Sending love and hugs . Charanne xx

[@tracyyeoman2450]

I'm so sorry that relationship was so bad. Being in a controlling relationship is never easy to get out of as you blame yourself or wonder what your doing wrong. But look how amazingly strong you are. You build yourself up again from you lowest lows. Your awesome. There will always be reminders and triggers but look how far you come. All I know is I'm really proud of you and thank you for sharing xxx

[@katecollins3894]

Don't for a second let anyone make you think you are not capable! Girl you are the definition of resilience in my books. You get up and get back going every single time. That is one of the reasons I have watched you for so long. I have slowly been reading the Kindness Method and I have working on myself lately which sounds like you are having some great break throughs yourself. You seem to have a little more of that Lauren spunk/confidence in each new video.

[@andreafordyce4230]

I've commented a few times lauren and you've always replied even on Instagram, I too suffer severe anxiety, so bad that at the age of 32 I became completely housebound for a total of 22 years my youngest of 4 children was only 7 ... for the last 2 years ( don't ask me how ) I now swim 3 times a week and can get out and about around my home town of Scarborough UK and although that is nothing to some, it literally is the World to me, I can now visit my 4 now grown up children and 9 Grandchildren.... just another reason I love watching you and how you cope with your anxiety, keep been amazing, you are just so real and I love that ❤️

[@corinnawarren7777]

Lauren I'm so proud of you for sharing just a little about your previous relationship. I was in an abusive friendship and when I cut them off it was a very isolating time. I didn't want to cause drama so I kept it quiet. But even in keeping quiet, it felt like they had some power over me It wasn't until I started speaking about it that I started to feel my sense of self and power come back. I hope the same can happen for you and bit by bit you reclaim your badass self! 🎉💝🥳

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

It is so true Corinna. Shame dies in safe spaces. Here is to reclaiming

[@gigilou]

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Thank you beautiful x

[@charlottewagstaff3107]

I completely resonate with you re the relationship. Very similar to me and I saw the light and ended my relationship in Jan. so many friends have commented on that they saw how I was losing myself, what he was doing to me etc and I agree, it really doesn’t help. I too now question my judgement, feel stupid etc and it’s only my councillor who is really on my wave length. Well done to you though for ending it - an emotionally abusive relationship is so difficult and I think if you never been in one you really can’t begin to know how it absorbs you.

[@andreaharrington1564]

You go girl! Enjoy all the moments on your doggy walks and think how far you have come and be as free as a bird to do what you wish to do Xxxx

[@MsTagestraumer]

I can say I don’t think I saw any signs but then again I’ve been “recovering” from a relationship with a narcissist and even though he has since passed from cancer (karma baby), what he put me through leaves me mistrusting and uneasy about putting myself out there again. Sadly it’s been over 10 years since I’ve even gone on a date or attempted to get to know anyone. I’m so proud of you doing things for yourself and feeling comfortable in your own skin to go to a venue on your own. I wish I had your strength! You clearly don’t have to share any of your life with us but I think I’m not alone wondering if you and L have gone your separate ways. Here in the US we have apps for dog walkers and some people make good money walking or babysitting dogs for folks. Biscuit is gorgeous and looks like such a fun companion. Keeping being you! It’s so refreshing and nice to have you back!!

[@K1MB3RL3Y88]

Hi Lauren. Just wanted to pop a comment over to you to say, I've been through exactly what you've been through relationship wise. It's so hard to have someone constantly make you doubt yourself. I struggle with over eating/binging and I know how a partner like that can trigger behaviours you don't want.

[@LiveitlikeLauren]

Thank you for sharing xxx I’m so sorry you’ve experienced it too x

[@mybabyflutterby]

Respect for sharing your experiences. Its good to peel the layers off, shed the excess skin. We don't realise how deep we are in a toxic relationship often until the relationship is well over. Love to you and the family 💖

[@irenestrongrock4106]

Ugh. I know I’m watching this a few months later (new subscriber here), but dang girl I know what you’re feeling about that toxic relationship. Been through that, and it is SO hard to find yourself and rework your brain and nervous system after that. Those kinds of people do such a thorough job at gaslighting, we come out of it not able to trust ourselves, and we blame ourselves for absolutely everything, and they alter our perception so totally, it’s just SO HARD to reframe that. I’m so sorry you’ve gone through that. It can take a long time to heal because little tiny things can trigger thought and emotion responses and honestly, it’s just sh!£. They were the abuser, and yet it’s the survivors that are left with the responsibility to heal. I just feel so deeply for you, as someone who has dealt with this too. I’m proud of you❤

I was in a relationship like that, right down to controlling my hair length with subtle convos and it took years to recover from it. Hell, I still instinctively do things now in my healthy 8 year relationship that are from that time. My partner is so kind about it too. Don't beat yourself up over it, healing is not linear. 🖤

Beautiful Lauren, don't ever feel stupid for any reason, even for having emotions arise when talking about any past experience. I was in a verbal, mental, emotional, and at the end physically abusive relationship and I endured this for 11 years. It is now 7 years since I had that Mother Trucker leave our lives, I say ours meaning my son and mine. Working through ALL the ways those type of relationships leave us, is something so believe will continue to be something we, I will work through. As I always say, I'm a work in progress. I send you my Love and an ENORMOUS HUG. You, We are not stupid in any way..... STUPID are those who thought they could break us, but they were sadly mistaken because what we did was BREAK THROUGH!!! 💪. You are amazing and so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. Even when the thoughts of those relationships make us emotional, that too is part of the healing process. 💗

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

I’ve only just discovered you, & when I tell you I’ve just sat for hours with your videos playing.. I really mean I’ve literally sat my lazy arse down & watched for hours. No shame here! I’m only just coming to terms with being in a similar relationship myself, except.. it was with a family member. And he did things to me I wouldn’t even attempt to go into here, or burden anyone else’s shoulders with. I genuinely thought for the entirety of my life I just had a ‘vivid imagination’ & it was all in my head. He died suddenly last year, huge heart attack. And that’s why everything is only just coming out now. I thought such things only happened in relationships between 2 individuals, apparently not. My silly, naive brain. I *do* understand. I really do Lauren. It takes a long time to undo all of it. GO WALK THOSE DOGGIES YOU BEAUTIFUL HUMAN. 💗 X

Learn about the signs of a narcissist, and you will do better to spot one and can stay away from people like that.

You are not stupid! But I know exactly how that feels...my ex parents in law were so controlling. Made me gain so much weight. Well , too long of a story for this... thanks for sharing. ❤

Hello lovely Lauren.I met a woman on a train the other day (Who had her own dog with her ) I mentioned my love of dog’s and she mentioned’Borrow my doggy’ ,so seriously considering that one ! Oh my favourite dog in the whole world is a golden retriever.I was in a ‘they ‘ relationship for many years and for many reasons couldn’t leave .And yes THEY make you feel it’s all your fault!, Sending you lots of love 💕

Hey beautiful! Thank you so so so much x

As always thank you for your vulnerability! I don't leave the house much due to my anxiety, so what a treat to get to see some of your world! I absolutely love the borrow my dog concept! I didn't know such a thing existed. What a powerful win win for both parties involved! I'm so glad you're able to finally do that, how freeing!!!! Come back to the US for a visit, and you can snuggle with my 4 pups! ❤
