Just wondering... since it could be a nightmare day for us emets. I went, I usually don't go. I only went to Target though. And man was it PACKED. I hated it. I felt so closed in. I wasn't particularly worried about ne1 v*, it was just a creepy environment. I don't like being so close to other ppl. I don't fear other people, I don't mind being crowded if I'm at like, a rock concert or something. But this was weird. And I was so scaredI was gonna hit someone with my shopping cart.
To top thingsoff, my mom decided she just had to use the restroom. So germy...eww. I mean, i didn't go, of course not, but still.Thats gross!AND she felt n* for most of the day.She's better now but ya... Weird day though. So far I'm coping well, not too much anxiety. I think the thing that scared me most was thefact that I wasso packed in, and I really hate stinky ppl or ne1 who doesn't look well-groomed (i.e, someone who looks like they haven't bathed in a week!). I thinkwhat really helpedcalm me down this year was knowing that sv* isn'ttransmitted through the air. And ... I'm fine. *knocks wood* I hope to stay this way.

I love shopping, I just don't like doing it on the super-crowded days. I didn't go to the mall or anything yesterday, but I went to Target. I actually think it would've been better at the mall because 1. no shopping carts to bump into, and 2. it's a better atmosphere.
