Anyone get flustered whilst in the supermarket?!

[MissLady83]

This sounds very strange and I can't understand it myself but I get really nervous and flustered when I'm in the supermarket, even more so when I'm at the check out and eyes are in me... Is it just me??? Strange thing is this anxiety

All the time. You are not alone in this.

I go in the middle of the night say 3am and use the self checkouts.

yep the dreaded supermarket gets me everytime ,and thats a great idea going in the night i never thought of that, and im always awake lol flaming anxiety xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have exactly the same problem and I know that exposure is supposed to help, but I go to the supermarket everyday and still get paranoid. I hate passing people and often turn around and walk the other way. I have a fear of making eye contact with the staff and get overwhelmed because there is so much choice.
I could keep going on and on.

It's a strange thing isn't it because I enjoy shopping and love getting food to cook up a storm but by heck that damn supermarket I feel myself going really red. Horrible is this anxiety!!

Me too...walk around in a daze and feel like I am going to faint at the checkout.

I used to always order online then i wouldn't have to face it, but i pushed myself to " man up " and I go in my local supermarket a lot as its just round the corner but the anxiety never goes ha

No one around here delivers. Especially to Bears in the Woods.

I get this too, I find it very daunting and always feel dizzy and derealisation. It's like I'm there but I'm not and I'm always in such a hurry to just grab what I need and get out!! Oh and those damn queues....you are cetainly not alone. Kitti x
