Shopping

Sassenach

Recently I've started to feel panicky when I'm shopping. Nothing in particular seems to set me off, it's a bit random. I start with feeling hot and cold, then feeling tearful and anxious. I generally manage to calm myself down, but it's very distressing when it happens. I'm.assuming it's sensory overload, but I'm not sure how to combat this.

  • Hi is this all shops or any particular one? I don't have the isues that you do but I feel uncomftable is certian shops. My 'safe' shop is the local Morissons, been going there for years, it is not massive, some staff have been there for years, I can park right outside, it is a happy place. i struggle with the big supermarkets too many people, too much stuff and I oftern can't see the exit, I oftern try and get my wife to come with me to those.

    No particular shop, it just happens randomly. I was in a large supermarket this afternoon where the lights were quite dim. I felt fine, so maybe lighting has something to do with it.
