Spoilers: it's me.

I was waiting for the bus to work this morning and started feeling faint - vision blurry round the edges, muzzy brain, hot and sweaty - and I was thinking I need to sit down, even if it's wet and the bus arrived.

I was going to get my wallet out to get my bus ticket and the next thing I know the bus driver and his trainee were pulling me out of a hedge and over a railing.

I fainted again on the bus and again when the ambulance people came. My blood pressure was so low they couldn't get a reading until the fifth attempt. My blood sugar was fine, just my blood pressure was really low.

It took five hours and two bags of fluids to get the top number over 100. I'm not sure what caused it, I felt fine until I was waiting for the bus.

I'm home now, feel a bit ropey, slept for a few hours, had some more toast and now I'm going back to sleep.

So I haven't posted anything on here or LJ for so long it feels like I need to reintroduce myself. And then some.

More
So, I'm Ren. I'm getting old (especially in the knees). I write a lot - blogs,poetry, fiction and fanfiction. I'm bisexual, non-binary/genderfluid and married to an American. We have a ten month old son called Phineas. We named him after Phineas and Ferb. Fact.

I have 22 tattoos, self harm scars and am mostly made up of tea and cake.

I live in Wales but have lived in Leicester and I was born in Coventry.

I currently work for a Domestic Abuse charity.

I have a PS4 - just got it and an Xbox 360 and a 3DS.

I don't drive but want to learn.

I live with mental health but consider myself in recovery from the worst of it. I'm diagnosed BPD, with social phobia, anxiety and depression. They all still plague me from time to time but I couldn't tell you the last time I tried to cut myself or kill myself. It was all a long time ago now.

Add Me
I'm happy to add and be added. If you know of any good communities let me know.
