So happy for you Paula. I'm agoraphoic myself (getting better thank goodness) and it wasn't that long ago that going into a WalMart here in the States was simply not an option. I couldn't even handle a supermarket without having a panic attack, much less a superstore. Now, I can make it into WalMart and keep it together for a little while before the weird sensations begin to kick in - you should see me sprinting through the store with my list, arranged so carefully based on the layout of the store, grabbing things off the shelves as a I go, then making a dash for either the checkout line with the shortest queue or an empty self-checkout kiosk. Sometimes it is almost a game to see how much I can get done before the anxiety threatens to take over.
You're right - it isn't comfortable and it isn't fun - at least not yet - but it is so rewarding to actually make it all the way through without something terrible happening.
Hi Mtatum Thanks for your post x Im like you, its all planned, got my list...those lights are weird thought! And if they re-arrange the store..well!! Confusion, panic..hahah. thanks and nice to meet you x
