I usually visit the hub before going grocery shopping cuz it calms me and helps prevent panic attacks from being around so many people.

Is that just since Covid for you Dan? Or long-term? Panic attacks in grocery stores has been a common problem for anyone with a tendency toward panic attacks for a few reasons, no natural light, limited singular point of exit/entry only and too much sensory input all contribute.

No. I've had an anxiety disorder forever.

Groceries are a big trigger for me. Anywhere I can't see an exit and there are a lot of people. But not airplanes. Weird, that. Go figure? Thank goodness for delivery as I don't go to groceries anymore. Bad lighting and confinement do me in.
