Introduce Yourself!
So we've already had an introduction from gipsy_dreamer but I thought it would be nice to have a dedicated introduction post that we can refer back to (maybe I'll put the link in the user info) so we know people's backgrounds.
Maybe we should have a little questionnaire to fill in. You can fill in as much or as little as you like. Don't feel obliged to do the questionnaire or to answer every question if you're not comfortable!
Name:
Age:
Location:
Who do you live with?
What is/are your disabilities?
A little about you:
Anything else of note:
I'll start!
Name: Anji.
Age: 24.
Location: Southsea, Hampshire, United Kingdom.
Who do you live with? My five-year-old son Orion, partner Fredrik and two lovely fancy rats.
What is/are your disabilities? ME/CFS, Bipolar II, Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (Borderline Personality Disorder to non-Brits)
A little about you: I'm a radical feminist, Pagan, teetotal, a strict vegetarian, tattooed, pierced and stretched. I like reading, tea, orchids, rats, writing lists and jogging.
Anything else of note: Orion is also disabled, he has hemiplegia due to brain damage when he was three months old.
Now it's your turn! :D

I'll Do This Properly ;)
Age: 36
Location: Chelmsford, Essex, United Kingdom
Who do you live with? My partner Dom, who is also my carer
What is/are your disabilities? Chemical depression, pernicious anaemia (permanent B12 deficiency), epilepsy, tendonitis, as-yet undiagnosed gastric issues. I walk with a cane and can rarely travel alone
A little about you: My life seems to revolve around doctors, nurses, neurological appointments and collecting prescriptions. However I also find time for gardening, reading and cross-stitch. I hope to start swimming regularly soon, as that's the only time I have full use of my right leg, and I sing, play guitar and ukulele and write songs. I'm a sci-fi geek, citing Doctor Who (Classic and new), Firefly, Stargate and Star Trek as some of my main fandoms. I also have a passion for medieval history
Anything else of note: My 14-year-old son Rhys is also disabled, having severe autism and behavioural issues. He lives with carers as I'm unable to care for him myself but we see each other regularly
