Grocery Store- Back To My Old Self Again!

I'm sorry, Steve, it's bad when it hits you like that. I know how you feel, I get so down on myself for letting it 'get' to me. They say it's all in changing your thoughts and attitudes about things, but that's so hard for me, cuz I've been thinking this way for a long time. It's not the store that scares you, like you said, you've been going there all your life. I can get scared to death sitting in my own house. What's scaring us is in our heads, the panic just happens in different places, like the store. I know that it's been going on for a long time, but there is hope and we can't give up. Sometimes I want to quit because I work so hard at getting better and I still have setbacks. Remember that you won't feel this way for long, panic and anx like to change and change often! LOL!!! But really, you'll get past this, and you know we all understand here! :)

Hi Steve, Sorry to hear you're having problems. Do you think that exposure approach might work in going to this store? For example, on day 1, just drive/walk past the store and rate how you feel. Day 2, go into the parking lot, Day 3, browse at the stuff right up front...and so on. I had a similar problem with this one drugstore in my neighborhood and I'd say to myself that I'd just go in and look around up front and if I felt bad, I'd leave. Now I'm able to do a little shopping and feel OK. It just takes baby steps. And don't beat yourself up if you don't succeed right away! There are people who understand. Hang in there! (Hope this helps a little)

Just came back from one, I've been trying to get out more. Anyways it's like the same old story ...I got this overwhelming feeling I cannot put into words that goes into my head, I feel all weak, head tensed & chest tense, dizziness, hyperventilation, paranoia, Even on the way home I felt like my chest was gonna explode! I know it sounds totally irrational but I've been like this for over 5 years. I can't stand it! I grew up going to that same grocery store, I've went there infinite amount of times before when I was younger I jus't do not get it! I wish there was some way I could reverse this stupid distorted way of thinking, but it can't stop my brain from triggering these symtoms. I am really starting to feel like I'm getting too **** old for this. I feel like my nervous system has just had it. I need some serious help.
