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.

  • Try small shops when they aren't busy. That way, if you feel the overwhelm mounting you can pop outside to cool down a bit and then go back in to resume your shopping. The hot/cold thing sounds like it's a temperature sensitivity in addition to the lighting that's setting that off.
