Main Description

I'm 29 years old, multiply disabled and live with ME (myalgic encephalomyelitis), CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder), OSDD (otherwise specified dissociative disorder), depression and anxiety. I also have a labral tear in my left hip and an undiagnosed underlying issue which causes chronic pain and mobility restrictions. I'm transgender, queer and use he/they pronouns so any potential employee has to be LGBT informed and friendly.

I live alone in Fallowfield in a first floor flat (five steps up to the front entrance) and am a short 2 minute walk to the main bus rout into Manchester.

My disabilities mean I spend a lot of time in bed, I struggle to expend any energy without paying for it in the following days and so I follow a strict pacing method in order to reduce symptoms. This means a very restricted lifestyle and reduced capacity to carry out basic tasks.

I play a lot of video games, I like music and attend gigs when I am able to, I make zines, enjoy film and TV, listen to lots of podcasts and audiobooks and I have three pet mice that I enjoy watching and taking care of. I like to walk around the local parks when I have the capacity and in the next year I hope to have a mobility scooter to make this easier.
