Anxiety is taking control of my entire life!! 
Today I went into the supermarket and had an anxiety attack because I didn’t know what ICE CREAM to buy. 

So today we planned on going to the ice cream shop and beforehand I made the decision in my mind exactly what my order would be, as naturally my anxiety finds the amount of flavours to choose from overwhelming and then the panic sets in when I feel the pressure to chose too quickly and end up being disappointed with what I’ve chosen. 

When we got there the line was too long and no one wanted to wait. Instead I, was sent into the supermarket to buy a box of ice creams and they said “we don’t care what you get.” Great. My mind already starts racing because I want to make sure I get something everyone likes including myself. 

So then the anxiety attack begins…

Multiple reasons sent me off into this anxiety attack… first of all the plan had changed. Nothing was happening as I had prepared for and planned I’m my mind. I couldn’t get what I wanted and then I couldn’t make a decision. So I start spiralling even more and that’s when my brain starts telling me everyone is looking at me wondering why this stupid girl can’t decide on what ice cream she wants to buy. Then it gets worse because I’m in there for so long and I’m panicking because everyone will be wondering what’s taking me so long. In the end I eventually get a box of ice creams and let me tell you, the disappointment I’ve felt for the rest of the day from eating an ice cream I didn’t enjoy is ridiculous. 

This sounds so stupid and I’m literally laughing at myself reading it back now but I guess I’m just posting this to see if there’s anyone else out there with anxiety over something that seems so silly like ice cream!!
