Something scary happened today. I don't really know how to handle thereafter

I had been looking for a room within my area in Scotland for months until I came across a girl, who is a friend of my friend, offered me a room in a house she is renting. I accepted & moved in after careful consideration.

She told me she had a rare condition that would occasionally give her so much pain that she would have to shower with hot water for soothing.

When I woke up around 8 AM I heard her showering since the bathroom with the tub & shower is located right next to my bedroom. I wasn't aware & returned to sleep for another 2 hours.

When I woke up again I noticed the frequency of the running water didn't change at all, but I thought she was simply washing up – I went to a Café for a tea while starting to have a foreboding.

I returned afterwards since I didn't find it normal. I knocked on the bathroom's door – no response. I broke in since it wasn't locked – she was unconscious.

I called her multiple times before I dialled 999 in a state of panic. She luckily woke up & we discussed the matter in the living room. Some of her responses make me worry further:

"I am not precious. You don't need to care about me."

"If you are uncomfortable, you can give me 28 days' notice..."

what kind of condition does she have? I mean a specific name of the condition. based on what you're saying, she says like someone with depression or something similar, in which case she shouldn't be living alone. I don't mean you should be her nanny, but in general a person speaking like this should be monitored or something

It's a rare genetic disease that causes systemic symptoms & kind of incurable. I feel pity for her.

Regardless of her physical condition, she is mentally not 100% as it is not normal for her to think that her falling unconscious isn't going to cause you concern. Conversely, she will never truly care about your wellbeing. Get out of there as soon as you can. If she needs any assistance to live safely, it is the responsibility of people who'd get paid for it or any interested family members.

Assuming she has EDS and POTS, it's very likely she faints too often and is somehow used to that. So for her it might be not a big deal, but for others seeing this is very scary. OP, as I said you are not her nanny, so you are not responsible for her, and since it makes you scared, I also suggest moving out if you can. However, please talk to her, and advise her getting medicated/seeing the therapist, because she sounds like she needs some help. In addition, I think this situation is a bit crazy because EDS&POTS patients who faint should NOT be living alone. I am not sure why she isn't living with some family member/someone who would take care of her in needed...

She's presented this very oddly. By not warning you beforehand, so that a) it wasnt a shock and b) you knew what to do.

Her reaction afterwards is... off kilter too.

Personally I wouldn't be comfortable living there. I'd give her the 28 days notice.

What would be the worst that could happen?

Worst that could happen staying or giving notice?

Staying...

Then worst case she faints and either knocks her head or otherwise lands awkwardly and asphyxiates herself and you find her dead somewhere.

More likely it just keeps happening and stresses you out. It’s not a responsibility you knew about or presumably would wanted to take on.

How did you break in if it was unlocked?

With all the answers here I feel so lucky to have such amazing housemates.

I have something strange going on with me too, no diagnosis yet, but all I know is that I can faint out of the blue. I asked my male housemates to look after me when I shower and stuff. They are amazing and helping a lot.
I'm kind of shocked people aren't ready to help and support a housemate.
