Welcome back, @Carrie!
Wow! I can’t imagine not being able to face going to the grocery store for 2 months. When you made your “comeback”, did you go at a time when it was really crowded, or did you pick a time when it would be calmer?
I’ve found that it’s much less overwhelming to go at a quiet time. Fortunately, I have a couple of nearby supermarkets that are open 24/7. The late-night vibe is way different from the daytime one, and there are no line-ups.
How did you handle Christmas shopping? I deliberately avoided the malls, especially in the evening and on weekends. Except, for one day, when I *had* to buy some rhinestoned shoes I saw in the window. The store was a madhouse, but the crowds & the energy left me feeling exhilarated…after so many weeks of long, monotonous, solitary hours working at stage door!
Maybe you survived your “comeback” to stores, because you found the people & the energy to be exhilarating, too.
