And the subsequent panic attacks despite taking the anxiety med. It is so frustrating and makes me want to scream. It also helps me feel broken.

Just know you are not alone at all in this; I avoid grocery stores, anyplace where there's just too much activity for my senses to focus on. Though when I'm able to I do make myself go to some busy places, the hypersensitivity to stimuli seems to have no solution,

I'm here if you want to talk/vent.
Oh I hear you on that one! Every time someone even so much as walks past me at a walmart, I want to jump out of my skin and I am ready for a fight.
I am always sure that everyone there is mad at me or ready to fight me, or push me out of their way or wanting to bully me--I HATE IT!!!
I feel that people are glaring at me and/or thinking I'm some sort of freak or obsessing over my belly fat. I get jumpy and irritable and startle easy, then I start zoning out and forget what I'm doing.
It happens at other places too--but there is something about Walmart.................
