Anyone else get anxiety just going to the shops?

I went to the city the other day and it was hell! I would rather stay at home by myself then go out with friends in crowded places. anxiety is hell

Nikolas,

hello and welcome!

Now... Anxiety. She's a horrible witch, isn't she. She causes all kinds of trouble.

So anxiety affects you in crowded places... How does it make your mind and body feel? Where else and what else makes you feel anxious? Sorry about all the questions, but they will help us understand your situation better.

hope you are feeling okay, we are here if you need to talk 🙂

HI Nikolas and welcome to BB

nope you are not the only one, there are alot of people who struggle to even leave the house. i can leave the house but when it comes to shopping like you i get very very anxious. i feel like its very overwhelming and like everyones closing in on me. is that the same for you? how does it make you feel?

have you always had this trouble or is it only recently youve noticed your anxiety when out?

im wondering if you have some supports in place for yourself? or if you would be willing to speak to your gp at all about your struggles?

again welcome 🙂
