hello, I am so glad that am not alone in this area. I use to love shopping at walmart and would stay for hours. When I first started having these spells I thought I was maybe the only one that set out in the parking lot thinking I really can't do this. I find that if I go I am better off going during the week, vs weekends. The less croud helps somewhat. I still go in and leave as soon as possible. I have actually got to where I like to go to the dollor store if possible. I also like getting prescriptions at Walgreens, you can use the drive through or go in and out faster.

Yes, I get dizzy too, especially in those Super Walmart's and any of those Warehouse stores. I always say, "it's too big for me". Even Home Depot vs. Lowe's Hardware stores. And Lowe's is too big for me. I feel so uncomfortable. Those long isles and products so high. It is so overwhelming, I'm afraid I will get lost, or I can't make it back. I use to be overwhelmed in driving to work in my car. When I would see all those Semi Trucks around me I just cryed, I couldn't handle it. I couldn't see any other cars, any signs, and they were so big around me. Can anyone else relate to some of these other overwhelming things in life?

Oh my gosh yes, I used to hate going to malls or anywhere enclosed = not in my "safe zone", home.
That sneaky anxiety that just builds up until some of us end up with agoraphobia. Comes in all forms and those uneasy, dizzy , awful feelings in stores and malls are part of anxiety induced agoraphobia.
This program helped me conquer that and it's so nice, so incredibly awesome, to go shopping now, anywhere, comfortably.
Keep working on the program!!!!!!!It works

does anyone have a costco/price club or sam's club or bj's wholesale near them...cause boy do those stores make me freak! they are always so crowded that i feel like there just isn't enough air in the space for all of us! and i can barely stand home depot-i'm terrified that the shelves will break and there will be an avalanche in which i will be pummelled by wood or paint cans.
but i like walmart...and target
