It seems like you can work. Can you get a job and make enough to support yourself?
Does your disease make you miss 10 or more days of work a month?

I can't get a job. At least not one that requires interacting with other people. Which is all a job really is. Talking to your boss, talking to coworkers, talking to whoever, etc.

I can't even go to a store and buy something for myself without having a severe anxiety attack.

It's not that I'm talking to somebody either. It's the stimulation.

All of my senses are magnified. Which is why I have a photographic memory.

Lights give me insane migraines. Every sound is louder to me than it would be to someone else. Every taste, every feeling, every emotion is enhanced beyond a point that is bearable.


By the time the guy says, "Do you want a bag?"
I can't even think of what to say because it's just painful being there.

CJ, I hope you are still reading your responses at this point. Can we talk more about the anxiety you suffer from? Is it anxiety from having to deal with the stimuli or fear of other things?

Do you have anxiety all the time or are there certain triggers?

Thank you so much in advance for your time.
