Hi everyone Can I have have an anonymous post!
I need advice please
Im an honest, law abiding 42 year old women who has worked full time all her life
A couple of days ago I went into a local chain store and an employer asked me to leave because I was “banned because I had stolen from there!!!!”
I was absolutely shocked! Ive never stolen ANYTHING in my life! I was absolutely astounded to the point I couldn’t speak and just walked out the store in total shock.
I blindly walked into the shop next store and told the male shop attendant and he agreed how totally crazy this was
Now I carnt stop thinking about it 24/7!
I am a law abiding honest women, and ‘banned’ from a shop I regularly go in and spend ALOT of money in.
Ive told my Mam (doesnt matter how old you are Mams know best!)
She actually laughed at how absurd it was and said ignore it and shop elsewhere (it can be easily done)
My best friend said to go into the store and sort it out but I am too anxious to do so.I avoid conflict all the time to avoid extra anxiety to the point I would agree the sky was green and the grass was blue
Recently I have been in a GREAT amount of stress and this is tipping me over the edge
How do I get over this?
(I just carnt go into the store even though I’m innocent I need tips to mentally get over this please as I am obsessing over it 24/7
No judgement as I SWEAR I DIDNT STEAL

Just give it a few days and go in again,if they say u are banned just ask for proof of the theft,if they have none they have no leg to stand on,there doesnt need to be conflict,just stand up for urself!!
You won’t get over it until you deal with it. Take a friend or your mum with you and speak to the shop manager
Or email them and book a specific time to go in and sort out the issue.
You’re not actually banned from the shop without an official notice from them. Write to the head office and explain what’s happened and they may help to clear it up for you.
