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."

Keep calm...

Today's challenge was loads of fun! I love the 'keep calm' posters, and today's challenge was to create one of our own. Mine is about POTS awareness and advocating for the disease. The image (beautifully finalized by a friend from my rough idea) is to "Stop POTS" with the awareness ribbon I designed - a white ribbon with a red heart.
