Just put my full basket in the middle of the shop and walked out! Ha!

It’s good that you’re able to do that instead of feeling like you have to stay and buy the items
I’m sorry to hear you had anxiety. Sounds like you have some good handle on it though

at least you tried, maybe get a few things a time or one at a time maybe, might be easier if you break it up and help you get use to a routine tc

I hate supermarkets too. I get my groceries delivered. You’re going through a med reduction right now so maybe that’s temporarily to blame 
If it is I’m sure things will stabilise soon.

I’d probably save money with groceries delivered than ordering delivery from restaurants all the damn time.

Order everything online and Get it delivered for days you can’t manage the shops?
I normally go early evening or last thing on a Sunday, so it’s not as bad!

When I go I spend about five minutes in the grocery store. I run around get about six items and then go to self check out and then leave. But doesn’t last me all that long

i was once watching a news broadcast about a tornado. The tornado had clearly picked up a wa!mat truck. i could see the name on the truck whirling around there several feet off the ground. round n round. i did hope no one was in that truck. i hate grocery shopping so much, i cant help that it made me happy though.
five items in six minutes is kinda impressive though. lol

I’ve wanted to do that so many times! But I hate being looked at and thought about so I thought it would be worse…
I’m sorry you had such anxiety, @Jimbob, but I think you’re so brave to rescue yourself like that!

You did good by removing yourself from the situation. Give yourself a pat on the back.

I had a time where I could not shop groceries and could hardly go out.
It is fantastic I think that there is home delivery options.
You buy online pay chose what you want and they deliver.
It might be temporary solution or long term. It it’s greT they have it.
I mostly order online. I understand meltdowns in stores. I cry almost every time I go alone because people are so mean. If I go now I never go alone.

Most of the time my Mom does the shopping for our family, but sometimes I want or need something that she didn’t get, then I go very early. Around here Safeway opens at 5 a.m., I rush in get what I need, and since I’m usually the only customer in the store, it’s quick and less stressful.

Sorry about that @Jimbob I had an experience like that at my local Trader Joes’ they made me feel unwelcome and were so rude but some grocery markets make you feel welcomed and are kind.
