Reporter until her treatment started to diminish. In 2000 in sydney, hamilton doing the unthinkable. Shes fallen down. Reporter sabotaging her last chance at gold. I wanted to vanish. I told myself just fall. I mel immediately. It happened like that. Reporter married to her college sweetheart, mark. She started a real estate business and a family. The darkness loomed. Leading to a night if vegas with a call girl. I kind of felt like, why isnt everybody else doing this . Reporter then decided to become an escort herself. That lightbulb moment, why shouldnt i get paid for sex. Reporter her double life came crashing down when she was outed by the smoking gun. And suzy is joining us. America. Me here. Of course. I want to get right to the smoking gun. So they out you. Did you think you could have gone on with this . Had you not gotten caught, would you have continued . Absolutely. I hadnt been diagnosed as bipoerl yet. Without a doubt, why would i want to leave this manic high . That i was in . It was a fabulous high that you im feeling. You talk about that manic high in such great detail in the book. And, the book deals with difficult subject matter. Not just the contrast between your incredible running career and your life as a highpriced escort. But also, the bipolar disorder that was driving you to it. Right. Its a disease that you cant see. And, for me, i i honestly was shocked when i was diagnosed with it. I didnt see myself as being supertalkative. With this high energy. I didnt see the signs of it. Did your husband see the signs . In looking back now, obviously he can put everything together. It makes sense. But when you were in it and spiraling . Not at all. Not at all. Youre so candid about your brother, dan who died from suicide, also suffered from bipolar disorder. What is your hope for readers of the book . What is the message . I want people to understand Mental Illness. We cant see it like a broken arm. But everybody has issues in their life. Mental illness can destroy lives. Relationships. I think we need to speak out. Theres help available. But more people have to reach for that help. And i want to show also, that, we should not feel shame for our bizarre behaviors that stem from this illness. Absolutely. In the book, you talk about your, the pressures of being one of the most celebrated runners in ncaa history. Three times at the olympics. Youre a real estate agent. Youre a mom. Madison, wisconsin. And yet you have this other life that all started with an anniversary trip. Your 20th anniversary. You and your husband go the vegas and you made a decision that really changed everything. Right. You know, i i hadnt been diagnosed at this time. And, when we made a decision to go to vegas, and the risky, the crazy things that we did, jumping out of an airplane, the sexual experience that we had in vegas, after that, my bipolar really started to develop, which i didnt know i had. It brought on this hypersex hypersexuality that was a sixmonth process to take me to being an escort in vegas. All the while, your husband knew about it. Why do you think he let you do it . Its not that he let me do it. It was something i started to explore. And once i started exploring, i couldnt get out. I liked the high too much. He tried, desperately. He also protected me. He wanted to keep my reputation. And, an amazing an amazing man. I see him as a hero. He doesnt see himself as a hero. But i totally see him as a hero. And still with you today. Absolutely. By your side. What gives you your high today . Thats a great question. When you are bipolar, you miss those highs. I was first of all misdiagnosed. That brought on the hypersexuality. I call mist more level. I dont know what level is because ive always been used to this high. Its hard. So my vices to keep me sane and happy are yoga. Working out. I need an intense workout. Running hard. Racing people on the streets. When im in california. So something that really helps to bring out that high. I think its crucial for somebody with bipolar. The book is fascinating. And var brave. Thank you. Just unflinching in how honest you are. It was difficult. Because i share everything. I know this is a difficult book for my family and the people i have hurt with my behavior in vegas. And, that hurts me still. Its something i will have to live with for the rest of my life. But something to remember, Christine Brennan said, of all of your achievements on the track, this might be the greatest one with all the people that can help. You know, with the 20 20 interview, when i heard that, i started crying. That gives me the strength to keep fighting and hopefully, my story will give people with Mental Illness the strength to reach out, to get help, and not be shamed of Mental Illness. Our Society Needs to change. We need to help. Yeah. Suzy, thank you so much. The name of the book is fast girl, a life spent running from madness. Its available now. I gotta tell you.

How do they determine what is going on with you . Im going to take you inside the doctor brain and tell you how doctors thingk about pain. We think in terms of categories and anatomy. Here, musculoskeletal. A sports injury, a condition like fie broe fibromyalga. This could be kidney, livers heart. Heart attack. Visceral pain. And then neuropathic pain. Pain caused by nerves. Phantom limb pain. The pain following shingles. Because the brain is part, it can be psychological pain or emotional pain. Pain can be different for everyone. We hear about chronic versus acute. A different category here. Were not sure what heads to chronic pain. One big theory that came out of the 80s is that everyone gets exposed to an injury or pain. The people that deal with it in a positive way, by no choice of their own, by the way. They approach it, confront it, recover. The people with chronic pain with the same painful stimulus, worry. Avoid fear. Avoid confrontation. They get caught in a loop. Is that why we saw the new treatment about dealing with the brain and changing . And there are several once.
