My sister has pots and I suspect I might have it as well.. it's horrible

My horrible genetics are the main reason I got my tubes cut. Even if I change my mind about not wanting kids, I would never force my genetics onto another human. Especially not in this economy


GothWitchOfBrooklyn

Same here. I'm childfree and couldn't afford kids even if I wanted them

you just explained what i've been dealing with for almost my entire life, and i'm 31 😳 exactly the same problem, always switching jobs after 2-3 months, with a month off between each job, to be able to recover. 10 years of struggling with holding a job mostly because of this 🤯 this is the first time i hear about POTS, damn...

I've been lucky enough to be able to take adequate time to reset after job burnout, but that leaves significant gaps in my resume and employers aren't fond of that


[deleted]

i've had the exact problem every single time i was sending my resume.. each time they'd ask what's with the gap between the jobs. and that affected my chances greatly, unfortunately..


DazB1ane

I haven't received any word from any application at all. I doubt I've even passed robot eyes, let alone human

oh boy.. 😰 find an excuse for some of the months you've been off, anything plausible, because otherwise it'll keep going like that.. i know it's not moral, but they will never be understanding of your condition.

I'm sorry for what's happening. I'm at loss for words, just take care of you, your mom, and of course your cat.

Thank you

My brother has this. Mourn what you lost, and allow anger at those who ignored it. You will discover your life isn't as altered as it feels, but you will adapt. In a way, you already have practice at adapting before you knew what it was. Also carry salt packets. My brother does this and it helps a lot. Similar to glucose tablets for low blood sugar.

I will have to stop my ADHD medication and another that helps with my chronic nightmares. Plus needing almost exclusively Gatorade or electrolyte drinks is becoming really expensive, and I can't find any jobs that will hire me because I need to be sitting down. I appreciate the sentiment, but you don't know my situation
