I tried to go out to eat the other night - I brought foam earplugs but as soon as I walked in the restaurant I was completely overwhelmed and had to leave.

I am supposed to travel in a few weeks to go to my grandmothers 100th birthday. I have to fly cross country, and deal with all kinds of stuff that seems like far too much. My issues have been getting progressively worse and really do not want to go. My family completely does not understand.

I feel your frustration and pain.
