Many patients with POTS suffer with anxiety and depression because the mechanisms of all three of these conditions result from the autonomic nervous system. However, more often than not, anxiety and/depression is caused from being sick (not the other way around). Learning to live with this condition is hard but doable. You can find a way to be happy and have a good quality of life with proper management.

As long as you're following what your doctor has mentioned to help with pots you can do just fine. For some people it's harder than others.

Live every day like it's your last, meditation is very helpful, spend time with friends and family, remember all the fun and happy moments in your life especially when you're having a bad day

Personally I hate it when summer comes around, I always find my POTs is way worse! But other than that I am generally happy with my life.

After at least 14 - 15 years - I am still working this out. Can I get back to you when I have it sorted?
Seriously - just know your limitations and work within them. You may have to change your big life goals a little - but it doesnt mean you have to stop everything. It may cut back on everything for a while til you get used to it and work out what you are and are not capable of. Just go with the flow.

If you can live happy one should learn to be resilient, to be empowered and to learn about the disease and get to know it and understand it well. Enter to support groups online or face-to-face. See and learn about success stories of people with this disease that have been known to carry the disease and have managed to fulfill dreams or career goals

In my case, it is very symptomatic, the way to survive is with medication and a good physical exercise regime. You can be happy, even if it is passed bad moments. And the ones who suffer from this tend to get depressed, but just as there is to keep fighting.

Having dysautonomia is not the end of the world, this condition only involves making changes in diet and the daily routine; explain to the people that surround us and that are always close to us all is a disease for which we understand and support us, it is all a question of information and of attitude and living the day-to-day.
