@Bunniekins @StuF @Sparky79 thanks for all the encouragement. Thankfully I didn't have much to get and cos the staff know me they got me in and out as quick as possible. That was very full on though, people everywhere, was way too loud and overwhelming for me. I'm back home now and trying to calm down enough to make myself an iced coffee so I can sit down and relax for a bit.

@StuF no it really isn't, heart rate was way up and I was shaking. The worker that was helping control the crazy line up noticed me and sent me down one of the workers i know at the very end where it was less crowded. He was surprised I even attempted to go out today but as I said to him I didn't have a choice.
Got my iced coffee now, just gotta try to wind down. At the moment every noise is going straight through me even the aircon seems so loud.
