Round in circles

It started with my mum suggesting I go to the Boots chemist near me to get anti histamines for a possible food allergy. I have pretty extreme short term memory problems, and in my anxious state I made no connection that the Boots she was talking about was infact the chemist I have sworn several times never to go to again.
I worked up the nerve and as I got nearer and saw the sign, I realised it was THAT chemist. Urgh. I took a deep breath and went in anyway. Luckily there was no one else in there as it's tiny inside. I got some advice from the pharmacist about the food allergy and since I'm registered there I can get "everyday remedies" for free. I didn't know however that it had to get prepared just like a prescription and I'd have to wait. I turned round and there were 6 to 8 people who had all just appeared since I came in.
It's the chemist right next to the doctor's so I guess that's why it got busy. I tried to stand out the way of everyone but there was nowhere to go. I ended up having to wedge myself in a corner, all the time trying to look some kind of normal. It was way too hot in there and so many people in such a small space made me feel really claustrophobic. There was a woman beside me coughing the whole time which was freaking me out as I have a bad immune system and am terrified of catching bugs.
The whole time my brain was screaming that I need to get out of here now. Several times I almost walked out without the pills. On the way home, I bought a whole load of junk food. Binged the lot, then purged everything.
Today has really, really not been a good day.
