Anxiety bad when at the store
Posted , 33 users are following.
Hello,
Does this happen to anybody else?
When I go into the store I feel fine, maybe minor dizziness - but as I start walking through the store I srart feeling like I'm going to really pass out. I get spacey (like almost run into people and stuff), I just feel like a heart attack, seizure, or something horrible is coming on. My legs get shaky I get weak and hot. Does anybody get this? I'm scared its a serious illness and not anxiety because it feels so weird. I feel like people think im on drugs or something because I think my anxiety shows. I'm writing this from in the car of the store. I left my mom inside. I needed to sit down. I wish I could just have a nice shop with my mom like everybody else in the store seemed to be doing. Do you think it's anxiety or something worse? I'm going to try to go back in - wish me luck

This recently started happening to me. I work for home so I don't go out as much as I used to. Now I have started feeling a lot of anxiety at the store. I'm also trying to get my blood pressure under control as I have border line high blood pressure. Does anyone else have high blood pressure? I'm curious if this is causing the anxiety and related symptoms? I noticed that I feel a lot better when I am in the refrigerated/frozen food section. The cold air makes me feel better. The last time I went to the store I decided to bring a water bottle with my full of ice water. When I was starting to feel anxiety I took a sip and held the bottle with both hands. I felt like it cold my body temp. and make my body think about the cold feeling rather than the anxiety. Has anyone tried that?
