So many times since my TBI I have had to leave a store, a social gathering or other public places because I cannot tolerate the noise,the stimuli, the constant changing activity, the lights or too many people talking at once. In a smaller group if a couple of conversations are going on at once I feel like shaking and am too distracted often to follow either group. Then I get angry, really angry.......which others do not deserve, so I don't take it out on them, but sometimes my husband gets it.
