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."

harder than I thought

I never knew recovery would be so difficult.

You literally can't do anything for 6 weeks. I mean...zip.

For someone who constantly is moving around, it's almost torture!

However, I know I'm still doing too much. My insides swell up, they hurt me and make me unable to pee. It's ridiculous.

I'm only 2.5 weeks in to my 6 week recovery period and I'm already going crazy!
