Sounds like you are doing the right things. Are you using Vetiver? Peaceful Child blend?
I did a bunch of Brain State treatments that were extremely helpful for me with ADD, depression, etc. FIRST, I did all the nutritional things possible for my brain but I had a bad injury/concussion as a child that 40 years later still showed up on my charts and if I didn't constantly take some kind of brain food I would relapse. I had a very traumatic birth which is what sets your brain patterns for life if you don't fix it (my mother almost died and was unconscious - they told my Dad that we would not likely survive - nice message to hear when you are ready to greet the world!). Brain State will REPAIR this for good. It is worth the investment and then all things you do will work far more effectively. I have a really good friend in San Diego that can do it for you. If interested just email me personally and I will give you his contact info (he's visiting here now and will be in SD again shortly). This is not a band-aid solution but an actual "cure". He's also done all the Tony Robbins coaching, etc so you have the benefit of learning how to change thinking patterns as well. Great deal.
Religion can put a great deal of pressure on a person. As Jesus summed it all up, "Love God. Love your neighbour." Don't stress yourself about anything else! Just stick to that and you will feel better. It's not about torturing yourself. "Love your neighbor as YOURSELF." You MUST love yourself FIRST before you can do that for others. Right now your brain isn't functioning to full capacity. Don't think God doesn't know that. Don't think you need to do more than you can. Use Elevate on heart to help this. Hope this helps!

Hi everyone,
My name's Mary; I'm a pretty new IPC in San Diego. DoTerra is changing
my life for the better but I'm still really struggling. It has changed
enough that I feel confident in the oils' ability & want to share them
with everyone but I know there are still things that I'm missing.
Basically the only oils I have right now are the Family Physician kit,
Peaceful Child, all the mood oils, Solace, most of the citrus oils &
the LLV supplements & we just got a Lotus diffuser.
WHAT I AM DOING
Following Rochelle in Arizona's protocol, (Thanks Rochelle!) & that
has helped but I'm on the LLV supplements, I do Balance on one foot,
then layer Elevation & Peaceful Child blend on the other foot in the
AM & Serenity, Lavender (each on one foot) & Peaceful Child blend at
night
WHAT I AM STRUGGLING WITH
Well there's a lot but I'll start with the basics & then add things if
anyone needs further clarification:
*ADD* - my ADD isn't the "bouncing off the walls" ADD it's more like
if I didn't take my Adderall (I'm on 10 mg as well as 12.5 mg of
Pristiq which I used to be on Zoloft, Ativan & 8 times as much Pristiq
so that's progress!) then you would be talking to me & I wouldn't know
how to respond like I would be super lethargic. On my Adderall I have
more energy but I think stress is making it worse where I cannot seem
to stay on task. I get so many thoughts all at once & feel like I'm
being stretched in a thousand directions. It's nearly as bad as it
used to be thanks to the oils & the supplements. I know there are
things I need to do like clean up my diet, (eat more! sometimes I just
don't feel like getting myself anything), exercise...I also have a
mental block about exercise because I used to be really good about it
& now it's really difficult. I know Vetiver & lavender are recommended
but aren't those more "calming"?
*MOTIVATION/DEPRESSION/ANXIETY* - It's just SO hard to get myself
going during the day...I used to not be able to even get out of bed
before 8:00 but then I had trouble sleeping. This week luckily I've
been forcing myself out of bed by 7:30 at the latest so I could
regulate my sleep pattern. My depression & anxiety have improved
significantly since starting the LLV but I do still get overwhelmed
with simple daily tasks like cleaning & preparing food & then in the
evening have a hard time winding down because I'm not satisfied with
what I accomplished that day. I know that my hormones are off even
though the doctor says they're "normal." It's totally embarrassing but
I would grow a beard if I didn't take care of my facial hair every day
& my period is always irregular. I do have to remember the progress I
have made...months ago I could barely get out of bed in the morning,
felt suicidal at times, had severe panic attacks & am now working part-
time & building my doTerra business (which has been overwhelming
trying to do both!) where six months ago the idea of working seemed
preposterous.
*SPIRITUALITY - I'm a Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) & I know that I must
be the ONLY one on here (;-)) but anyway faith in God is really
important to me. I feel like I've lost my connection with God & now
have this negative association with prayer & scripture study; things
that used to come easily for me. It's hard to concentrate & then I
feel guilty & can't seem to wrap my head around the fact that it's not
about guilt that it's about relying on Christ to lift me up.
*OVERALL - Just feeling like life is one big long to-do list that I'm
never going to accomplish! I know what a lot of you will tell me about
the progress I have made...how well I'm doing....blah blah blah :-) &
I *know* it's all true it's just really *feeling* it. I remember in
intensive cognitive therapy the therapists saying things & all of us
saying, "I know, I know!" I know there are so many posts on here about
anxiety/depression/ADD but I thought I would make my own since it's
different for everyone.
On a positive note I have started sending out samples & have positive
response, a few customers in just a few weeks & I have never been so
passionate about anything. My husband is so supportive even though
we're on such a limited budget because he's never seen me so dedicated
to something that he knows I can fly with doTerra! My therapist also
wants to start referring her other clients to me which has been a slow
start because I needed to get her samples to show to people but I've
also started to contact other therapists in the area. :-)
Thanks,
~ Mary
