Anyone else struggling with shopping now more than ever?

I'm now almost calm again. I go out only if I really need to. The 1st occasion I forgot my pin as I was so overwhelmed. 2and day I tried I finally got some of the shopping I needed as I couldnt work out what I needed, what I'd picked up etc. I then locked my keys in my car along with my phone and had to call the aa by asking the shop to help. 3rd attempt so overwhelmed I left my shopping in the store as I felt a meltdown coming on. Failing so much :(

  • I have been struggling too. I had to use hand sanitiser and wear  a plastic  glove on one hand when i entered the supermarket. I got totally confused after 10 minutes of trying to concentrate on which hand to use if I carried a basket but need to pick up items. What had I touched, how to go past people etc.  I've also been forgetting my pin, blocked both my cards , have been hyperventilating and having to leave the store or forgetting what to buy. 

    Last week I had a full meltdown so I guess I've improved a bit this week.  Yesterday I had carrots and bread for dinner. I've lost a bit of weight and have been waking up hungry.

    The only good thing is that I am walking to the shops so I get extra time outdoors that doesn't count as my exercise.

    Oh I'm sorry plectrum. It's really hard just to get any form of shopping. Especially if you didnt bulk buy. The one time i did buy shopping I got so muddled I bought completly the wrong things as I couldnt function and spent all of our money! I'm not sure how much longer I can take it
