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."

Update

The interview turned out to be more-or-less a waste. The job was very labor intensive and when I told them about POTS, the interviewer expressed a lot of doubts over my ability to handle it. (I have quite a few doubts about it too.) They said they'll let me know in a couple of weeks, but I have a feeling it wasn't a good fit for me or for the company.

The only upsetting part for me, was hearing the doubts from the employer because of POTS. While I appreciate that they're (partially) thinking about my health and safety, it still was awful to hear it.
