It was really helpful to read these threads, one of those "I'm not the only one" moments :)
I get so easily over-stimulated by noise and movement that I find myself with just one very loud thought in my head "GET OUT!"
I use a Service Dog for mobility, medical alert for migraines, and for emotional support during these panic attacks or whatever they are.
It is still hard not to beat myself up when I'm safely back home for being such a big baby and not being able to handle the mall crowd anymore.
