I really want to talk about what it was like to run for Congress with severe anxiety, because I want you to know you can do *anything*. Together, we can do anything, INCLUDING changing the path of our country.
In the last few weeks of the race I was battling a stomach ulcer from the stress and bit through my mouth guard from clenching my jaw at night. I am finally starting to feel holistically healthier and am recovering from the worst of the stress.
The thing is, even the people closest to me said they couldn’t tell when I was stressed, but figured I was because of the race. One trait I have is hiding it all with a smile which I something I am actively working on. It’s also why I absolutely need mental healthcare.
I say this because I know a lot of other people suffering from mental illness hide it pretty well too. I try to approach others with compassion knowing they may be battling something I am totally unaware of.
TLDR, anxiety sucks but I fuckin did it. I’m gonna take care of myself and get really strong for the next steps in my fight 
Love you all 
You’re absolutely never alone Thank you for sharing
I appreciate your service to us all
Proud of what you have done and your honestly about your anxiety is refreshing!
You’re an inspiration Lauren. I’ve dealt w/ severe depression & anxiety for a decade, even attempted suicide, so hearing your story means so much. Separately, it’d be an honor to interview you for a book I’m writing on the future of public policy, including mental healthcare
