I had a few people trespassing on Friday morning.

They looked suspicious.

I was a bit concerned as there were a few males and one female.

She was using the hose to wash her face and she said 'someone sprayed her'.

I don't think they called the police - I think they were lying.

They didn't leave for a few minutes - she kept washing her face.

One of them offered to pay for the water.

They took our bucket- filled with water - and left $10 (2 * $5 notes) for it.

A bit later - about 20 minutes - when we were leaving and driving past we saw her a bit further down a few houses up still washing her face. 

We need to go to Bunnings to get something to lock the gate.

The problem is our place is on the corner and everyone can see our hose when they walk past as it's outside. 

This sort of thing makes me very concerned. We live in a peaceful suburb.

Hi @jamesle2015

It sounds like this has freightened you a lot, has it happened before? 

I think I read somewhere that you experience agoraphobia, is that right? 

are you getting any help or support??

I know that you are a regular contributer / support of others but just to check in - have you seen this thread  where @universepocket is looking to speak to others with this experience and this thread where members are talking about their experiences and things that helped 

take care

I went to see my psychologist tonight.

She said I should go on anti depressants as I haven't made any progress with my agoraphobia.

After the appointment I told Mum...

The problem is Mum disagrees with anti depressants ...so if she disagrees how will see the doctor for the psych referral?
