Pins, POTS, and Procrastination.



I am 24 years old, in a happy relationship, working at a part time internship, searching for full time jobs, passionate about the environment, have an adorable pet hedgehog named Falafel, have a Master's degree in Environmental Law and Policy, and I have a condition called Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).

I'm really bad at talking about it. Most of the people who know me know that I get migraines. Only people I'm very close to or went to high school with know about POTS. I should be telling people to raise awareness about this syndrome, but I haven't quite figured it out yet. I was diagnosed with POTS when I was 16. Eight years and I still don't know how to talk about it.
