Getting the shopping done can sound like a simple task, however have you noticed how overwhelming it can feel, the sounds, so many people, changing smells, and dealing with the car parks.
I support neurodivergent women who benefit from having someone beside them when out in public, appearing to be a friend, but always there when the anxiety kicks in to reassure them they are doing great. Body-doubling can be empowering.
I’m not sure if it’s just my body changing as I mature, going through peri-menopause, but I’m finding that sometimes keeping the sunnies on and wearing my noise-reducing ear buds can help me get through and enjoy spending more time shopping.
What helps you deal with the overwhelm and keeps you enjoying life?
