Grocery Store Anxiety: Anyone Else?

Yes! I hate when the lines are long and I can feel so uncomfortable when I’m around a lot of people. I like to be in and out

Omg this was me for the longest time!! I would have such severe anxiety, that I would leave my full shopping cart there and run out to my car without ever checking out… so many triggers there. Some things that have helped me… now, I choose to go grocery shopping during non busy times, I put my ear buds in and listed to music. I chew gum or have candy in my mouth. Those things help me stay grounded, present, and focused. You can overcome this trust me!

not the entire grocery store, but the self-checkout line makes me break into a cold sweat every time without fail 🥲
