I don't have bipolar but I've gotten freaked coming out of a shopping center/mall where I was for a goodly length of time into the parking lot with noise and cars moving and too many cars and light reflecting off them, not wanting to think where my car might be, temperature change (from air conditioning to summer day), etc. and just lost it :-) I did at the circus too, the only time I've ever been in my life; too much to see and movement, etc. It wore me out and I ended up just shutting down as my husband didn't understand and really wanted to be there so wouldn't leave.
