POTS isn't all bad

Having POTS, DEFINITELY, has it's down sides I guess having POTS (or any illness) you have to find the silver lining, the bright side.

If I didn't have POTS (sounds like I'm going to burst into song - but I am... You just won't hear it - only I can) :

• I wouldn't have left/been kicked out of a school I hated surrounded by people who bullied me and people I didn't get along with 
• I wouldn't be doing a course I love
• I wouldn't have, finally, made friends in my class
• I wouldn't have found out who my "friends" really were
• I wouldn't be starting University mid-September

Plus you don't have to dwell on the fact that you're ill... If you do then you'll always feel horrible because you're illness will be controlling you. You need to fit your illness around your life, not the other way around.

I know what you're thinking... 'Easier said than done', understandable really. I don't even take my own advice all the time, but that is on the bad days. For some the bad days are closer together with a good day every so often unlike the opposite (which would be preferable). I have been in both of these situations.

When you're having a bad day, look ahead... plan what you want to do when (NOT IF) you get better. That way you can feel better about how good life will be when the bad days are few and far between.

I still get my bad days... sometimes it's days and sometimes it's months but, hopefully, I WILL, finally, take my own advice.

*huggle* for everyone!
