Hello, my name is Lauren and I'm a 43 year old female. I am creating this account based on 2 factors. One, I am currently involved in a domestic violence situation, and two, I have an undiagnosed/ unidentified medical problem.

First, my unidentified medical issue began 7 years ago, and includes a high heart rate, high blood pressure, and an inability to walk/extreme leg weakness. It only occurs once a year in the cold/wintertime, and lasts anywhere from 30-60 days. During this time I spend the majority of these 2 months in the hospital, as I feel that my heart is going to give out at any moment, and I am completely incapacitated in bed, unable to move or care for myself.

This January 2026, my illness began again per usual, but this time it was also accompanied by a bizarre and unusual incident outside of myself. My husband of 10 years was previously diagnosed as bipolar 6 years ago, and up until this month, he had never experienced mania or psychosis. Unfortunately the same time that my illness began this January, he went i to full blown mania. He got us kicked out of our rented home, lost our vehicle, and Unfortunately committed the ultimate sin of physical violence towards me. This led to the police getting involved, and myself getting sent to the hospital with multiple injuries. As a result, I reached out to about 15 different women's shelters in our area for domestic violence help. As a result of his mania, I am now homeless and on the street, coupled with my medical illness and unable to walk. It is a very bad situation, and I have been praying every single day for a miracle.

I thank you all for taking the time to read my story, as it can unfortunately be an all too common one, but I am strong and now a survivor as well. Any help offered will go towards finding an answer for my medical situation, and for rebuilding my life as a whole, including new housing, a vehicle, and any other normal human expense.

I thank you all again for your time and compassion in reading my story, and would be so grateful for any and all help. Thank you all, and have a blessed day .
