I don't like being this messed up both physically and mentally. But it is what it is.

I totally understand. It stinks big time! I have the same problem with getting over stimulated. I want to be able to be around people, but if it's more than a couple people, I just get very overwhelmed. I've always been very sensitive to things.....I also have several health problems like type 1 diabetes, gerd, joint pain, etc...
Were you able to get on disability?
