Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

Today I have to go shopping. I have my lists made out and I am waiting for my hair to dry. I have to go to three big stores and I am starting to feel the stress of it now.

I can so relate to you. I do not like food shopping either I go but it is not a great time. I hope your day of shopping goes well and you get it done with out any panic attack.

Give yourself a break -who actually likes grocery shopping- ugh! Why make a big deal out of it. I mean go when the mood strikes you. You you feel strong . For now don't say tomorrow I will go shopping that will only cause anticipatory anxiety. When the mood strikes, then go.

Hang in there! I used to dread going shopping, I used to always have a panic attack in the store, I have left many carts of food in an isle and made a run for it...But, it does get better if you just keep pushing yourself...My boyfriend dreads shopping with me now, because i enjoy it so much and will shop for hours...Keep a positive mind, with positive thoughts, it will get better!

Im ready to start...
