About the Author

My name is Lauren Monday and I am a 35 yo stay at home mom of two school aged children. I have been living with Bipolar 1 with mania and psychotic episodes, OCD, PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression for over 6 years and I am more than happy to share my story with others. My hobbies include writing, coloring, watching reality tv, and cleaning my home. I also have an amazing partner (husband and friend) with whom has shared my journey for over 18 years. I am not an expert in anything, including my own struggles. So please, if you or someone you love is in danger: call 911, go to your local emergency room or reach the national suicide hotline by calling or texting 988; I personally have.
