Not only does the grocery store cause anxiety for me, but so does the driving there.. driving in general does

I get anxiety from simple things like that to....with grocery shopping its very hard for me to know where to start, or what to get even if I have a list. So I usually end up frusterated, I space out and don't remember to get everything or I get anxious because I am confused as to what to get. Also I get self concious because I feel like it takes me a long time to decide on things to get especially since I usually read the ingredients on some things to to make sure it doesn't have a bunch of un-nessisary crap in it....so I feel like people are watching wondering what's wrong with me.

So yeah I can certainly kind of see where you are coming from, I don't think most people realize how even a simple trip to the grocery store can be quite the task for someone with anxiety issues.

Yeah i'm with you on that, especially the self-conscious thing. It eats away at me.
