    You're welcome! :)

    As far as change/coins go, 99% of the time I would get the coins rolled up in coin rolls. You just rip those open whenever you need quarters, dimes.. etc. If you do get the coins in rolls, you dont have to count them, you only need to count the bills. Usually they'll give you singles and fives, they might give you tens too. Just grab the bills (for example, the singles) count them in your hand, make sure you have what you're supposed to have (they'll tell you what you're supposed to have for each bill, if you don't know, ask them) and once you finished counting them, just put it in your register. the slots should be set up for you to put singles in one slot, fives in the next slot, tens in the next slot, twenties in the next slot and the coins in the bottom slots. If all else fails and you're confused, ask your neighboring cashier for help, he/she should be cool enough to help you out. :)

    Nothing new. Just did the dishes and now I'm listening to music :)

    I was really bad in the past. At my worst, I wouldn't leave my room for days, sometimes sleep for 16 hours, not eat, and have no human contact for weeks. At my best, I still couldn't make eye contact, couldn't order my own food at a fastfood place, panicked constantly, and otherwise couldn't participate in life at all.

    Now, I'm a totally different person. I'm much more honest with myself, and don't fear interactions. While I don't have an engaging social life yet, I'm not afraid to meet people now. I actually enjoy holding small conversations with strangers when I can. So I can only imagine it will get much much better from here.

    She's older. Maybe about ten years? I didn't really ask specifically. I'd recommend meeting an SASer. I've been trying for a while, but no one is willing to! I feel like a lot of members aren't even trying to get better at all.

    I wish there was some sort of way to identify them. Like a stamp on their profile that says, "Hey I'm willing to meet people and try and make friends and get over this thing."

    And the opposite stamp saying, "NOPE. NEVER COMING OUT OF THIS CAVE. LEAVE ME ALONE. I'M NOT EVEN GONNA TRY."

    It'd save me so much effort and headache. @_@

    Driving gets much easier with time. Its so hard to explain, but you just sort of "feel" everything eventually, and don't even have to be that alert. Its like it becomes an extension of your body and just feels normal, like walking.

    It was interesting. I had to fight a bunch of bank fees, and talk on the phone to support for a long time. Annoying!

    Yesterday was interesting though. I started an anxiety/depression support group with a woman I met on Craigslist. We're trying to meet every week now. I never imagined I'd be able to meet strangers off the internet like that, but it was actually really fun and enlightening. There's really nothing to be afraid of. Its all the media trying to scare you, and the fear is all in your head. Because people in general are good. Its crazy, I know.

    Other than that, I've been meeting lots of people off Craigslist to sell stuff. That's been really fun too.

    Other than that, haven't really "gone out" in a while.

    I'm glad to hear that you got a job!! hopefully the sadness and loneliness won't last tho.... I got a job as well, so I've been a lot busier than I used to be lol. But I'm also still kinda lonely and down at times too... life's just never easy I guess!
