Grocery shopping and twitching

[sisterspiral]

Hi! I haven't posted before. Just want to share my experience with SA and subsequent anxiety twitching. I don't usually go to large chain grocery stores. Today I did, and constantly was worried about what others thought about me, if I was doing something wrong, and analyzing small interactions. Once I got home my head/neck was twitching a lot. So, deep breathing... some food... More deep breathing... and I will be ok. Has anyone tried the 7/4/8 breathing technique? Inhale to the count of 7, hold for count of 4, then exhale through your mouth for the 8 count. It really helps. Whatever you're going through, know you are not alone.

This is what i preach, breathing methods is scientifically designed to work against anxiety.

I used to get incredibly nervous at the grocery store.

I never felt much anxiety while looking for goods to purchase. Instead, I'd feel real nervous at the check-out line.

I'm glad I don't have that problem anymore.
