I'm just beginning this program, and listened to session 1, and am doing the workbook.
one of the things in the list is not being able to go shopping. I thought it funny but then It just dawned on me that so many times when I go into a store, I get major stomach aches, have to use the bathroom, go back to trying to shop, but get the stomach ache right back... and then I lose my focus on what I went into the store for.
I usually end up leaving the store, and the second I am out of the store, my stomache ache goes away, and the need to use the bathroom goes away.
I never used to have this problem. I don't know when it started. I hate it because most of the time, I shop online, other than for groceries.
Is this anxiety?

Re: shopping anxiety
Yes! My sister has that problem too. Some people get stomache & some get dizzy & lightheaded or total panic attack.
