That's exactly how I am too. I am on short term disability through my employer since January 12, but I am seriously contemplating applying for SSDI and going into employer long term disability.

I can't leave the house more than about two hours in a week, maybe three. And even when I am home, I am often just laying down guarding myself from voices and noises. I have a thing about words. Sometimes there are just too many words and they attack me.
