MENTAL AS A MOTHER

COMPULSIVE OVERSHARER: MOTHERHOOD, MENTAL HEALTH, AND MORE.

Welcome to Mental as a Mother! I'm Lauren. I'm 42-years-old and live in Brisbane, Australia.
I'm a fierce feminist with a wife and two daughters. Ivy is 5 and has all the sass of a pre-teen. Luca is three and... yeah. Hello, tantrum town!
I live with depression and anxiety and like to talk about it A LOT. Mental health in motherhood is not talked about enough, and not good for us not to talk about it. Care to join me?
