I am unsure about how to deal with POTS. I have been experiencing symptoms for 7 years but was diagnosed this April after sustaining multiple injuries from fainting. (Yikes.) I was not able to attend class for a while because I could not get out of bed. Even now it seems to come and go, I can be down for weeks at a time and my symptoms seem to make it impossible to live a normal life. I am in honors college, but I don't think for long. I can't focus on anything or even walk fifteen minutes and it is driving me crazy. I have never struggled with classes. I have never struggled with being sick. I was very healthy growing up and now I can barely open my eyes most of the time. I do not feel like myself anymore. I am at a loss. I do not really have a support system, I am on my own. I come from a "broken family" and cannot return home to rest. I'm only 19 years old, I don't know much about loans or medical bills or debt except for the fact that I have quite a few now. I am trying to deal with this all on my own but it's not working out for me. I am a pre-med major and I am so anxious that I won't be able to get into any medical school after this. If there is anyone out there who can offer advice or kind words or how they overcame or plan to overcome something similar, please do. I need any support I can right now. #College #classes #stressed #Support
