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."

crossroads

i'm debating discontinuing this. i'm not gaining any weight, so the hope that i could share my success is fading. right now the plan is to just stop looking at the scale (i try not to do it that often anyways) and just eat and try my best. i have a relatively good diet (most days) so that's all i can really ask for. hopefully once some of the stress goes away, the rest will fall into place. i just don't know if continuing to do this has any point
