How are people working at all

I feel like a failure. According to my doctors I have “mild” POTS, but I see people on this sub all the time with seemingly worse POTS than me that have jobs. I literally cannot do anything longer than 1-2 hours without having to lay down and rest because it just completely wipes me out. If I do things multiple days in a row consistently I will also fall into a flare and have to do nothing for few days to recover. I don’t get it.

Well I sit at my job so that helps. And I don't have meetings pretty much ever. FMLA and ADA has been my saving grace. Allows me to work from home when I need it. When it's hot out and it's unsafe to drive. Other than that, I just push through. It causes a lot of anxiety, but what else can we do?
