Who am I? Who Was I?

A straight A student, entrepreneur, fine artist, seamstress, jeweler, crafter, teacher, graphic artist, successful custom muralist, advertising sales career peaking at $100K a year age 35. A lovely caring mother of two.

Yet, I have a disorder.

Have you been diagnosed bipolar? add? I've been prescribed everything for my highly emotional being, state of mind, people call me bubbly happy go lucky. My family say different.

Everyone experiences ups and downs. I was fortunate and had 30 years of the good life in Orange County, California. At 36 I have a miracle son with some special needs, and a divorce shortly after. Sure I am going to be sad an irritable. One of the main stressors in life is the loss of a loved one, whether it be passing or divorce.

There is no pill that is going to make people happy during these grieving times. It can take women 2 yrs to deal with this anxiety/depression and men even more up to 3yrs. Depending on your situation. Always remember take your vitamins, get out and ride your bike and or just walk. Releasing of positive endorphins does work.

In my extensive research I have found some reference to my supposed conditions: Brilliant; Creative; Artistic;

Where is the disorder? WHERE IS THE DISORDER. One of multiple psycho therapists relayed to me: Christopher Columbus discovered the new world because he was brilliant; creative and a risk taker. She stated he had ADD tendencies. Good for him! I'd call it attention to detail, maybe attention compulsive but deficit? Where? Everyone gets bored. Everyone likes entertainment. My mother used to always say to me "You can't be entertained 24 hours a day!" We learn, we do, we move on to discover.

So be it where's the disorder?

Yes during a crisis an anxiety medication, zanax and or others can help temporarily.

Surprisingly I did take an add self test and my Dr. recently prescribed Ritalin, and I got out of my sadness, bed rest, and actually started enjoying my life again. I started cooking, cleaning, organizing. I was shocked I needed something they prescribe children to help me out of this divorce rut. Literally, I got my paints out and painted pictures, the next day I broke out my sewing machine and made some cool stuff. Kids and I went on a bike ride. Amazing.

This low dose 10mg once a day for a month got me back to who I used to be. Research you do not want to abuse any medication. Always experiment with very low dosages. To see if the reaction works with you.

Moral of my story, it may help you that's my hope. Check out my website www.olivegrapes.usana.com
