After being sick for so long, I finally have a name for my illness: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, otherwise known as P.O.T.S.

A cardiac condition that's stripped me of my health, weight (causing me to drop to anorexic weight), self confidence, friends, jobs and continuing my education.

My goals are simple: gain weight, be healthier, and get out more. Basically, get my life back!

I'm also hoping to spread some awareness on this little known condition, and to highlight the struggles of the underweight and people with "invisible illnesses."

Awesome Thing of the Day: being productive! i cleaned the whole house, did the dishes, scrubbed the pool cover, hosed down all the outdoor furniture, changed the water for my fish (really my sister's but she doesn't take care of them, so they're mine now) and did all the laundry.
