The grocery used to drive me beyond my coping abilities.
I left more than once with nothing, only to realize I did not have food/formula for my kids and eventually, and angrily I'll add, went back to get. Sometimes being angry about it helped me focus on the problems, but it was only a survival thing |

Oh my goodness. Why is the grocery store such a problem for us? I used to think it’s just me. Thank God for this forum and the wonderful, caring people here.

I'm out of groceries and have been trying to muster the courage to go shopping all morning. I don't know why shopping is so difficult...being out around other people. I was able to go to my AA meetings Monday & yesterday for the first time in a month, but I know everyone there. Even so, I didn't feel comfortable. I wish I could shake this paranoia. I'm only like this during episodes. Yesterday my girlfriend asked me why I was so angry...but I'm not angry about anything in particular. I think I'm getting "mixed signals."

Ugh...
I'm thinking of doing the service of having someone else get my groceries and pick them up curbside. Only problem is I'm picky with produce and meat. Spend about 4.00 a pop. My kid and her friends are driving me nuts too. |

Our grocery stores in the US are overwhelming. I also feel very anxious when I have to go to a grocery store. They've become so corporate, too expensive, too large, too much stuff on the shelves to choose from, too many other people & carts to navigate, lines, having to spend money we often don't have to spend, carrying heavy bags....I miss the small, 10-aisle groceries from my childhood. I truly don't need 8 brands of milk to choose from. 2 brands would be plenty.

I encounter sensory overload: the bright lights, computers beeping, rows and rows of organized colored products, people, crowds, spacious area, multi smells, public appearance, the new and fresh, shapes, colors...talking.....
I enter a bubble of derealism and depersonalization....and I have to practice grounding techniques like reading labels and touching fruit till I ground down. It doesn’t help having Others jumping around inside wanting to buy this and that. |
