Support for Moonwillow
Hey there @Moonwillow - I am creating this thread to be a space for you to share your story, and hopefully start connecting with some of the other wonderful people here on the forums.
A quick tip we tell all our newbies, is that if you want other members to get a notification that you've replied, use the @ symbol and choose their name from the dropdown (or type till it appears) so that it shows up in blue. I will tag a couple of our lovely Peer Guide volunteers too, to help get the conversation started - @PinkFlamingo @Blackbird11 @Xibon @Miss-wish
I hope you find it to be a warm and welcoming space, please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need 😊💜

Re: Support for Moonwillow
I had a client service officer turn up to my house with no prior warning no call, email or sms and it wasn't anything urgent it was about vinyl I requested to be replaced, I live in housing nsw. She banged aggressively twice on the door it startled me i was hesitant to open the door as I wasn't expecting anyone I peeped out a curtain and saw her talking photos of the house, my personal belongings and my car she went up the driveway so I went outside and said can I help you? Aren't you supposed to give me notice, why didn't you call or email first' she said it was easier for her just to pop in, I told her I'd prefer she called or emailed first as I have ptsd I showed her my hands that were tremendously shaking, she then just laughed at me and said don't worry about it then in a huf and stormed up the driveway shaking her head at me like a was a piece of garbage and how dare I.
I have had extreme anxiety since then I’m jumping at sounds outside thinking this twit is in my yard. I’m having a quiet few days at home, If it doesn’t settle soon I’ll see my doctor.
