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."

Rough few days.

I've been having a rough couple of days. First, my POTS has been out of control due to all of the weather fluctuations. Second, work hasn't been going well. I'm struggling a lot and am not keeping up the pace that they want. I said that I would try harder, but I've been driving myself to sickness for the last two days and I physically can't go any faster. Today, I pushed so hard that I broke out into a sweat. I felt so sick that, after work, I went home and bawled.
