About this person
I’m a 25-year-old disabled, single female on the DSP, seeking long-term, affordable accommodation that can accommodate my needs.

I live with endometriosis, fibromyalgia, C-PTSD, autism, and ADHD, and would love a supportive living environment. Since I don’t drive, I’m looking for a place close to a tram or train station and a grocery store for convenience.

My routine is a little unconventional—my sleep patterns are irregular, so I may be awake or asleep at unusual hours. I sometimes pace due to pain management, but I’m generally a quiet, independent person who values my space while being empathetic and considerate of others.

I spend most of my time focusing on self-care, managing my health, and pursuing hobbies like digital art and programming. I also enjoy going to the gym (Anytime Fitness—bonus points if there’s one nearby!).

If you’re interested in my profile but have concerns about specific preferences, feel free to reach out—I’m open to discussing options!
Important personal qualities
I have a history of trauma related to men, but I’m open to living with a male housemate who is understanding of my circumstances, respects boundaries, and fosters a safe and supportive environment.

I’m sensitive to noise, particularly loud sounds or frequent conversations, and I find it challenging to be around large groups or strangers. For this reason, I kindly request that visitors be discussed with me beforehand, including how long they’ll be staying. I’m happy to work out reasonable agreements, but I need to feel informed and comfortable about who is coming into our shared space.

I value open communication and mutual respect in any living arrangement. I’m sensitive to yelling, criticism, or controlling behavior but always strive for fairness and understanding. My ideal dynamic is one of equality, where we treat each other with respect and kindness.
Food sharing and furniture
I need guaranteed access to a dishwasher, laundry facilities including a washer and dryer, and ideally a vacuum cleaner and mop. Handrails would be appreciated, though they aren’t essential. I’d prefer if we each supply our own items like laundry detergents, paper towels, toilet paper, soaps, and cleaning products, and that we clean up after ourselves and respect each other’s space. To avoid potential conflicts, it’s important that we use our own products and appliances unless we’ve agreed to share certain things.

I’ll need space in my room for my PC setup. It would be ideal if a desk is already provided, but I can arrange my own if necessary. The only furniture I’ll bring with me is my PC, office chair, bed, and possibly a few appliances, depending on what’s already available or communal.

During winter, I’ll need to use a heater, and in summer, a fan or cooler. I’m happy to bring my own appliances if these aren’t already provided, but I do need to ensure I can use them when needed.

When it comes to food, I think it’s best that we cook for ourselves using our own ingredients and clean up after ourselves when we’re done. That said, I’m happy to help each other out if either of us is going through a tough time. I’m also open to discussing occasional shared activities or communal meals if that’s something you’d like to do.

Let me know if this works for you!
