@Glisten i also worked in retail over 18 years ago, don't know how I did it to be honest.
Could very well be related to trauma.
I never used to struggle so much going to the shops, yes I had anxiety but I was able to mask it. Now it's a whole different story, I have to put my ear buds in to drown out the noise and get in and out of there as quickly as possible.

cant beat a good nurse when in hospital @PeppyPatti there was one at kal hosp years ago who made me feel a bit spoiled, well they they had admitted me due to anaesthetic, but ended up letting me go home.When at Armadale there was one got me a phone charger, checked on my car and joked about being my 'call girl' re I pushed the button and she would appear. all with a smile. I liked the tea trolley and that I could ask any time of day and I would be brought a sandwich lol. some meals were okay, def on low budget tho lol
