I currently do 99% of my grocery shopping online. My stepdaughter is talking about shopping in store more. With online shopping there are various links to click to get to different sections and then choose. I have something of a set pattern of doing things which works for me.
However in store shopping is something I struggle with. I am bad at organising myself to get what I need. I struggle to make shopping lists , and tend to shop haphazardly . I think this is to do with executive functioning difficulties.
I wondered whether this was a problem for anyone else. How are you at in store grocery shopping?
Yes! I feel like my brain is a ping pong ball going from one idea to the next. I zip from one aile to another and spend more time walking around than I do shopping.
Then I get frustrated with myself for being unproductive and then overwhelmed by all the people in the way and all the movement around me. Then I feel dizzy and like I am suffocating inside.
I have to follow strict rules to go shopping where I make a list in advance and follow it step by step. Otherwise I spend hours unproductively shopping
Sounds horrible..,I have visions of you being stuck there for days!
