EANH,

Your post sounds like my play book.

I has been 23 months now and things are much better but I still must pay attention...for instance. I went to my granddaughters 4H fundraiser last year and was on a very short time frame due to noise, lighting and people everywhere. This year I stayed for the entire event but had to step outside a couple of times to be in the quiet, it was a big accomplishment.

Last year I couldn't even walk because it wound me up so bad it took hours to come down. Now I am at the gym again, it does require some pacing and rest every few days to let my head calm down again but it is way forward progress.

One other item you mentioned was worth the anxiety, if you get my drift and I did get very anxious after.
