Suffering and smiling: how to pretend you're not chronically ill
Research shows that people with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome have the same quality of life as kidney failure patents that are on dialysis. I don’t think a lot of people realize that it’s bad. When I was diagnosed my doctor said that it’s not a death sentence but it might feel like one. I know that I’m not going to get better. I don’t think that I truly made peace with that. It’s not a cold I am not going to wake up one day and be perfectly fine. I don’t think that my family fully understands. My life isn’t about living anymore it was about surviving. I want my life so bad. I’m doing everything I can. 15% of patients with my condition faint. I am sadly apart of that 15%. On the bad days I faint somewhere between 4-9 times a day. It’s a very isolating experience. So the doctors and the clinics everything a patient tries. Anything to get me to remotely feel better.

I slowly open my eyes from a heavy sleep and telepathically greet the sun's morning light coming into the room. There is a slight breeze this morning, and the abstract shadows created by the summer leaves from the tree outside the window wave frantically across my face. Glimpses of sharp, bright morning light flashes into my eyes.

Throughout my own journey, I have discovered several strategies that have consistently helped me navigate the most challenging situations.

The society has been on the fence for a long time regarding how to treat those who suffered horrific things as children. Should these memories be revealed in order to let their devastating force fade? Is it appropriate to gently shape them into something less painful? Or ought they to be ignored?
