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 :(

  • Sorry to hear about your struggles with shopping mouse2, Plectrum, Plastic. What I did the other day when I went, I had a list with me, and I took a highlighter pen with me. So whenever I put something in the trolley, I marked it off the list. Because otherwise I would forget a lot of the stuff I went in to get, and probably come out with stuff I didn’t really need. Plus the good thing with walking around the shop with a list, it gives you something to kind of focus on. Because it’s certainly confusing at the moment, with keeping a certain distance from others. I also take a couple of antibacterial wipes with me to wipe the trolley handle.Slight smile

  • I take a list too - tick it all off on the way around - and list reminders for the non-essentials stuff for the cupboard.
