Kudos on the arthris not fun but try udos choice oil or tigar balm it helps me a bit. Best of luck with sugery ill be thinking of you, please take care x x x
Because if it really had stopped beating for good before you made this vid then I can guarantee that there would have been ONE person out their for whom seeing your story would never have altered their life in such a good way. Your story would never have gotten the chance to provide me with a memory of an average girl's extraordinary strength that will stick with me for a LONG time.
Words really aren't enough!
Thank you so much and I'm definately behind you! :DDD
Good luck with your surgery! You are and have been in my thoughts. Let us know when the surgery date is; I just want to be thinking of you on that day. Glad to hear about the place by the beach. Seeing the ocean is equal to a month's worth of therapy sessions to me, so enjoy your beach time... talk soon <3
Lauren :) You are SUCH an inspiration! I will be praying for you...everything is going to be alright! You are a beacon of light for us all, keep shining!
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
After all you're going thru right now, after all you've been thru trying to get the treatment that will help you, after sharing all the issues you have at this moment - - - - - for U 2 B able 2 say that (the good days outnumber the bad) is just SOSO FREAKING INSPIRATIONAL
Thank U so much for pointing out a light at the end of the tunnel, to travel towards
You'll B in my prayers re surgery - Scary stuff - but we'll B w/ U in spirit, Lauren
Thank you so much for letting us know what you are going through. I can barely imagine what it must be like to face this at 23. I hope it will be a transforming event in your life and be the springboard needed to make the wanted changes. I know that you can come out on the other side of this thing with greater resolve than ever. I hope that you will feel much better once it is done and give you back your endurance. Stay strong & have faith. We all care about you so much! ((((Lauren)))))
I am so proud of you that you are doing well in your recovery. With the heart surgery, stay strong hun. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. When you share all of this, it helps me. I don't want to have a heart attack or heart failure, so whenever I am sturggling with my eating disorders and my heart starts to hurt, I stop right there and it scares me back into recovery. It scares me in a good way.
i'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers for your surgery. i'm sure it will go fine :) it must be a relief to have an answer to the heart issue, though, and for there to be a fix for it. and i love how you can remain in good spirits and praise and relish in your accomplishments in the same 5 minute video that you talk about the surgery. good luck and remember that you ARE an inspiration
good luck with surgrey! I'll keep u in my prayers...i had a question tho maybe you could answer. how did u decide to get help, and how did u tell you parents about it, I want help but I don't know where to start and my parents are really overprotective since I'm an only child.I don't think they'd understand. i wana go get help, maybe go away, but if i did that, when i come back, i wana be able to continue with college and living at college. any suggestions(i only live 30 min away from college)
Oh My Goodness Lauren... I'm so sorry to hear about you having to have heart surgery! :-( You said that you have to have it because of something related to the eating disorder...Is there anyway that you can elaberate? (even in a pm?) I'm pretty sure that you know why I'm asking. You know my history with "ephedrine"... My thoughts are always with you. PLS stay strong and keep us updated. xo~a
I feel bad man today I found this girl who had a very pro-ana page and I felt bad for her because she was obviously very sad so I tried to help her and offer some solutions but I'm afraid she's going to lash out at me for doing so...I hope not but I felt I needed to help
You ARE an inspiration Lauren. And I am so very proud of you. I think the health thing is... I don't know. We can just never ever know. Each of us is so different. And it isn't about "extremes" it is about sickness. Good luck witht eh surgery and keep us posted. Much love, Rachie xxx
Just want to add how I admire you for the progress u have made in the last while. truely inspirational. You are in my thoughts and prayers, as you prepare for your surgery.
ahw hun i'm so glad to hear how well you've been doing with recovery! seriously, 5 1/2 months without ED, 28 days sober, that's freakin amazing. really hope the surgery goes smoothly, let us know how you're doing, yeah? and your new place sounds awesome too :) house on the beach - how jealous am i? hehe. big love! Lízenka xxx
I've had heart surgery...what kind are you having? I know its scary, TRUST me been there. I too did a lot of thinking when it came to having surgery. Still can seem like a dream, but here I am a year later, going strong if that can be a reassurance. if you need to vent or a shoulder who understands, I'm here.
Wow, it sounds like you are doing great, Lauren! Keep up the amazing work. I'm so glad things are going good now, and that you will soon be living on a place on the beach! Jealous! haha. I'll be thinking about you and wishing you all the best as you proceed with heart surgery. Love you dear... you are an inspiration to all... but only share with us what you feel comfortable. Much love darling!
you are getting prettier and prettier. I don't even know how to explain it? you look like LAUREN. you don't look grey (well, the lighting isn't great but regardless ha) and you just look like how I remember you years and years and years ago <3
sorry I missed your call. boooo. I'll definitely call you back tomorrow. gosh you always get amazing houses ha!
please keep me freaking posted on your health. eeeeee I am so proud of you! almost 6 months! it IS possible! LAUREN! omg eeeee! <3 LOVE YOU
