"Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness" - Yousuf Karsh

Had an anxiety attack in Lidl today. I'm lucky I'd been out with my Mum as the black spots in my vision got bad enough that I thought I was going to faint right there in the middle of the shop. That said, if it wasn't for Mum then I wouldn't have been there in the first place. I feel like it's not safe for me to be out in public any more without help. I can't tell ahead of time how I'm going to react and everything's giving me overwhelming sensory issues. It's too hot, the lights are so bright and there's so much noise and people far too close to me. I just can't take it.

Can I just stay in bed in the dark from now on?

It's safe here.
