I think as time goes on I am becoming a bit agoraphobic. I hate being out in crowds anyway but do try not to leave the house these days unless it is to our friends house or the local shop, places where I feel safe!

I hate the thought of not being able to park my car for a hairdressing appointment, I always go too early, never yet had a problem but always panic

martinlufc5637 If you paid for cheap delivery, that's what you're gonna get.

At least it's not Yodel, so it's an improvement.

Jinky67 I agree with you. Several times "strangers" have been ringing my doorbell none stop until I answer my front door and say to me "wrong house" or "I am looking for..."

I need to plan my day what I’m doing where I can access a decent toilet. Hardly any public ones left and I wouldn’t use them anyway unless I know they are well maintained.

JLouM I do this too whenever I need to go out I go through it in my head which shops I should go first and where to get freebies lol 😆

Last Wednesday went to M&S with a mate to pick up free chocolate 🍫 coins 🪙

And just on Wednesday I walked back up there again to pick up boxes of mince pies 🥧 that I got on the last day of the advent calendar

For me it's doing the car insurance it's a job I hate doing. As we have 3 cars in the family which 2 renew at the same time, it's the stress trying to find the cheapest quotes.

For me it's most things. Going shopping gives me alot of anxiety has I suffer with Agoraphobia. So yes like you paying for shopping and packing it makes me anxious if there's a queue of people. But then random things like I can't have two sauces together when having food. I mean like fried egg with ketchup! Why would anyone do that? I watch cooking programs and can't figure out why any one would eat any of the food. Too many flavours and textures together. I like plain and simple which makes it difficult to eat because most things have too many ingredients. There's lots of spicy foods. You even get chilli in chocolate now WHY? Onion is another thing it's in everything I don't like it. Winds me!
