OMG me too! Having several conditions that are particularly sensitive to noises, crowds, & people invading my space I have a lot of trouble sometimes managing being out & about. I have to be in a super good space in order to even tolerate all that sensory overload. I've had panic attacks & had to just leave groceries or shopping & going out with my parents when I visit-forget it. It seems like they pick the loudest most crowded obnoxious places to eat & shop-think they do it just to irritate me (like they don't do that enough on their own). And flying-I used to enjoy it but it's like being shoved into a cattle car now & people all up in your space-the last 2 trips my husband made to go back home I did not go-could not deal with it-that's what Skype is for. Eeeeek-at least I see I am not alone on this one-great thread.
