The bright lights, the loud music, all the merchandise, people…it’s too much to process. If you need to go to the store, make a plan. Know exactly what you need to get, make a beeline there and get the heck out of the store.

I experience the same thing. I no longer drive. My grandson takes me to the store after about 20/30 minutes I am finished. When I get home I don’t have the energy to do much more.
One thing I have discovered this disease sucks.
I've been getting overwhelmed easily. I think it's my body and mind telling me it's time to stop, reset, or change my distraction. Or rest. Good luck, and I'm praying for you.
@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member, It’s all a matter of priorities, is it not. Parkinson's Disease is the priority for both you and your mom right now. Sometimes it's good to be distracted. Even when I can't do much, I read my Bible and listen to my favorite music on Spotify. I also like to watch Bible believing preaching.
