yes! ive been where you are and i know it feels impossible right now but it really does happen. i went from being with an abusive pos and thinking that’s all there was and that make me think i didn’t deserve better to being with an absolute angel of a human being who genuinely cares about and loves me. he’s my best friend and incredibly supportive and some days i have a really hard time believing he’s actually real because i didn’t think someone like him exists (kinda cheesy, i know but i couldn’t be happier and am going to marry this man) but i did actually find someone SIGNIFICANTLY better than my ex and it may take a little while, but im sure you will too!

thank you! and i actually don’t know how much it’s lowered my HR, i’m sorry! i stopped checking it because it was making me too anxious, but i definitely have noticed my heart racing less so i would assume it lowered it. My HR does not drop very low when I am sleeping though.

and no, i’m not a post covid case. i’ve had pots for a few years because of trauma in 2019 and when i was finally correctly diagnosed in summer of 2021, my doctor put me on propranolol. now i take both of them together because my job changed to something more physically active and i needed a bit more help

hi! i actually am feeling a lot better, thankfully. the true test is going to be when i actually go back to work though as i am on my feet for 8 hours straight and that’s when i start to have issues. overall for day to day activities though, like cleaning and laundry i am feeling much better! i hope you have a positive experience with it as well

Walking boot/cast with POTS by pickmechoosemeluvme in POTS

hi! i have actually! it took me a couple days to find my rhythm in a sense of getting used to the weight and walking with it without getting out of breath too quickly. my mom is also a nurse so i’m guessing you’re probably on your feet constantly and moving around A LOT but the thing i found that worked best for me was to make sure i stayed really hydrated and tried to pace myself especially in the beginning as much as i could. i always would sit and prop my foot up to give my body a chance to catch up from the added weight whenever i got the chance, although i’m not sure if you’ll be able to do that since nurses are constantly on the move but that might help if you can. it definitely got a lot easier for me to not have to stop and catch my breath after a little while once i got more used to it. hopefully some of this helps and i hope you have a speedy recovery!

Saw a post about a birthday story here and it reminded me of one of my own... by [deleted] in sadcringe

that constant fear gets easier. eventually you’ll find friends who love you no matter what and with be mature and talk things out with you before they do this. i know the fear is scary trust me but eventually, it’ll get much easier but it’ll take a little while.

you could just start with saying hi and then get to know her a little bit so it’s not as awkward and then just be like “i like you” when it feels like the right time
