Welcome back to mood with Lauren Elizabeth. I'm Lauren Elizabeth and today we are late. Luckily,

not our periods because let me tell you I've been PMSing like a mother trucker. I'm going to do

a solo episode today because I miss you guys and we need a chat. We have a lot of things to talk

about. We have a lot to dive into so let's get started with best mood and worst mood of the week.

So obviously as you guys could tell this podcast was late this week like I literally just said and

that you literally noticed because it didn't pop up in your subscription on Wednesday. And you'd

think after talking to Danielle last week I would have been more motivated to stay on top of things

since she's so incredible at doing that. I did think about it. It did cross my mind but let me tell

you I was a wreck yesterday. I had like a total mental breakdown like very spur of the moment.

Usually mine are like very built up. It's kind of like we see them coming. It's like Lauren if you

don't manage this it's going to get bad. But it was just one of those things where I think sometimes

if I'm anxious for so long I just get depressed to be honest. I mean I'm someone that struggles with

obviously actual anxiety and depression. I like to remind people that I'm not using them as

placeholder words to sound more dramatic. I mean them very seriously. I had just definitely been

feeling I do not do well with change and I do not do well with uncertainty hence anxiety. But if

I don't manage these things correctly I can fall down a whole of depression. And it was very

confusing when I was younger because I wasn't familiar with anxiety. And now it's definitely

easier to spot but that doesn't mean it's always easy to just jump from my worst mood to my best

mood. And so I found it interesting this week that my worst mood wasn't just like a day. It was

honestly like quite a few days. And I think the good thing about having tools like I always say is

you know I'm able to kind of get myself out of those moods. And for some reason the combination

of my period this month which sorry if that's TMI but I mean I'm assuming we're all gals here.
