@lil_tachy: Today has been one of those hard days. I had plans with a friend I haven't seen in months, and had to cancel because 1. I'm sick with a slight stomach bug 2. I'm on my period and 3. both of those on top of pots has made me absolutely miserable for the past 24 hours. I'm exhausted. I'm dizzy. I'm weak. And I'm sad that my body can't bounce back the way it used to. Before I had POTS, a little stomach bug wouldn't have had such a big effect on me. I may have felt crappy but I wouldn't have been incapacitated like I am right now. But despite feeling like garbage, I have still managed to find joy in moments like this, where I'm snuggling with my girlfriend and my cat. Or moments like this morning when my roommate came into my room to hang out for a little bit while my girlfriend and I ate breakfast. Or seeing my dad when he brought me some pedialyte to get me through today. It's hard not to get discouraged on days like this. I spend every moment of every day doing everything in my power to avoid feeling like I am right now. It can be so frustrating that my body doesn't work the way it's supposed to. But this feeling will pass. Bad days come and go. Flare ups come and go, and it's miserable when you're in them. So be kind to yourself. Give yourself time to rest. And remember that you WILL have good days too. Today just isn't one of them. #xyzbca #pots #potssyndrome #potsawareness #posturalorthostatictachycardiasyndrome #potsie #chronicillness #chronicallyill #potsdiagnosis #spoonielife #spoonie #dysautonomia #dysautonomiaawareness #hyperpots #flareup #flareupday
