Anxiety and the mall/summer.....

[Roserose]

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a good Pancake day. just wondering, Does anyone find that their anxiety is triggered massively in big shopping centres and why do you think that is? Also, I find the transition period of winter into summer also sets off my anxiety and it makes me feel like the sun is overpowering. Does anyone else get this? so daft!! ... why is anxiety such an annoyance!! It's like it is it's own person!! Anxiety I hate you!!!

Hi Rose yes when I was younger I woukd have got much

More anxious in big stores and Malls, but that went as I got older. Lol.

So try and relax and when you feel yourself getting anxious just take

Deep breaths. It's more uncomfortable than dangerous, so there is nothing unusual

At all about you.

Take care and enjoy pancakes.

yes and yes I get like this in big stores and also the seasons can trigger not only anxiety but depression as well not sure why but ladies we will carry on.. try to focus on something I am knitting some soldiers hats for the homeless ex soldiers on our big cities and it helps take your mind off stuff.. good luck x

That's so kind of you to make hats for them Such a good idea to have an outlet/hobby. Painting has really been helping me with anxiety

I'm the same with bright, sunny days & feel even more anxious when it's hot, so I moved to a cooler climate where it's mostly overcast. It's confusing though because supposedly overcast weather is worse for depression With malls, I'm ok because I just see it as background noise, but if I have to try to concentrate & chat with someone, I find background noise really anxiety provoking!
