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."

New Year's...

Here's wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year's!

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and it's the last holiday I have to get through (thankfully).

My mom decided that this year she wanted to do something special, so we're going to a pretty pricey restaurant in the area. To be honest, I'm dreading it. Eating in restaurants makes me nervous because I've had a lot of bad luck with them. Plus, my mom makes me incredibly anxious so trying to eat with her is a nightmare.

Also, I know it's superstitious, but the last 3 years I've been sick every New Year's. So I'm extremely nervous about this dinner tomorrow.

So, cross your fingers!
