I'm not even into the first week of leaving but i'm just worried that i'm not going to hack being able to be alone? How do I kill spiders, or open jars etc? Who's going to be there when I need a hug or someone to cuddle with?
I'm so lost and don't know where i'm heading.

Give yourself a lot of time, and a lot of credit. I know that feeling. But, guaranteed, it is not too hard, people will help. (how do I register the car? get the whatever fixed? find what I want to do? shop...alone...)
Use your friends, or join a few things (---volunteer, go to the gym, take a craft/art/subject class...)---look for things to do----& it is OK to feel afraid and insecure, and it IS SCARY---but you will fee SO GOOD each time you accomplish something on your own!!!!!! Hang in there!!
