Grocery Store Anxiety: Anyone Else?

Does anyone experience grocery store anxiety? I get anxious thinking about going down the long isles, or in the back of the store. I always need a exit in sight. I’ve also noticed that florescent lighting is NOT my friend lol.

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

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!

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
