Hi guys. Any tips on how to deal with social anxiety? My whole life is one big ball of anxiety right now and I’m trying my best to deal with it. But in doing so I’ve convinced myself that my house, my couch, is my safe place. Recently going shopping and being in a supermarket is a trigger for me. I try my best to tell myself it’s ok but when I get in there the anxiety peaks. Any tips on how to deal with this? Thank you

I understand. Is there a time of day that you feel less stressed to get your groceries or can you order for pickup or delivery?

Are you retired or still working?

Thank you for your reply. I feel okay throughout the day but the minute I get into the store the feeling of panic kicks in. I guess I could get them delivered.

I’m not working at the moment. I have a young daughter so at the moment I’m a stay at home mum
