Before college, I admit, yeah the signs of POTS and all the other crap was there. But at that point I had no clue where it was going or what it was exactly. So, I continued my life as a normal human being and lived through it; running into sick days and hospital visits as I do now.
Whilst going through college I had, like most students, and idea that my degree would make me fly and become a fairy that shit stardust and my life was going to be okay once I had a "real" job. But I got sicker and then realized that wasn't going to happen.
And further down the road now, I wonder how I even made it through a hard-working private all women's college??? Women's leadership was shoved up my butt 24/8, networking was second nature, and coursework was nothing but icing on my cake. I was helping run like 5 clubs and working with professors to better programs and running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. And now I can barely stand in the shower for 10mins to clean myself.
HOW????? that's what I want to know???
And do you think it's worth chronies and spoonies to go to college??? And what can we do to help us succeed our dreams?
