I went to collect a click and collect order thinking it was ready even though I hadnt had confirmation it wasnt. Later I got the message went back and at first they still said it wasnt ready but then someone scanned my barcode and it was. After that I went to McDonald’s drive-thru for only the second time ever because of my social anxiety. I was so anxious I forgot my drink even though I definitely ordered one. I was too scared to go back in case they thought I was lying or just stupid. The whole thing made me feel like I cant do even simple things right. I do this kinda stuff all the time and now I’m really overthinking it which is making everything worse. It just triggered my anxiety and self-doubt even more. Im sorry to keep posting complaining about everything.

    Hey @Redemption

    Firstly I just want to say that you are far from dumb, anxiety of any sort is tricky to navigate so I think you did amazingly well to go to the McDonald’s drive through :)

    The drive through are very busy usually and staff are usually scanning orders and can forget things, if you feel able to next time let them know that they forgot a part of your order than that is more than okay to do, also as well often getting a receipt can be handy so you can hand it to them and then you can know for certain 💕

    Whilst I’m not caught up with all the click and collect systems I just want to acknowledge that I hear you

    It sounds like the experiences were stressful so I was wondering what can you do to relax this afternoon <3
    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.
