Panic attack at the grocery store!!

[RcKitty]

I had a massive panic attack in he middle of my neighborhood giant food store this morning! they had o toilet paper, no tissues, no water none of the foods, the only foods, i eat and i broke down. a kind woman did ask if i needed help. i made it through , got what i could and am at home... very isolated and alone as usual

my family who pretty much abandoned me since my depression/anxiety diagnosis has not checked on me even once. though i am not surprised it make this scary time all the more horrible.

I guess these are times like this will test people in new and unexpected ways and really brought to light today for me what we take for granted (toilet paper, who knew!)

so i am trying to stay calm, remind myself that everyone is stressed out, we are all in this together and we will make it through .

Glad you ended your share on a positive note. Hubby and I were at the groc store yesterday. It was horrible and surreal. It’s panic buying. I do know that suppliers are working 24/7 to keep supplies moving. We may see buying panic until it calms down.

Toilet paper? Who ever knew about that one? Bottled water? I use a Brita water filter/jug. They’re available on Amazon. Grocery shopping... I’ve shifted to online. Supplies are even limited online, but I just don’t want to deal with the stores for now.

I wash my hands regularly and wipe my smartphone with disinfectant several times a day.

We do have control being vigilant. And yes we’ll get through this.

Sorry to hear about your family. But there is plenty of support here on this site.

Best,

I know how you feel but good for you for your positive attitude, you may not think it but your approach means you’re doing well, perhaps better than you think.

Thanks for sharing I feel for you and soo many on here and out there that are struggling with anxiety it’s soo frustrating that vulnerable ones with anxiety & depression aren’t looked out for more we need love more love not panic more kindness less greedy & hoarding if everyone can just relax on buying everything up it’ll be ok!!!!! The virus can get under control it seems like the fear &buying up everything that’s the real disease!!!! Please take care and know you’re not alone!! I don’t have a big family myself and the few i live with can be difficult and the other few i don’t live with have not reached out, messaged or called me at all not for over a year now!!😱and I stopped reaching out because I was sick of feeling hurt by barely any or no responses???😔 it doesn’t matter your age or if they know you have anxiety or depression or what’s goin on some ppl just don’t think the same as us I guess wired differently??Anyway I know I am an awesome person inside and have lots of love 💗 & good to share so I have to try hard not to let their mistakes get me down I hope you won’t either or anyone else on here experiencing similar issues with family or others they care about!!!💞💞💞🌻🌸💕🦋
