    All the time at the grocery store anywhere I go and sometimes well most of the time at home because my spouse doesn't understand my condition and she's bi polar so I get no sympathy from her I try to talk about it but I guess I'm just a freak of nature.

    So many people hate crowds. You are hyper sensitive. Use ipod and put in music or visualization till you are out of the crowds.

    Dear Nichelle,

    Fear and other emotions comes from inside.Taking medicines or changing the diet will not be much effective.Positive efforts like listening to music is good for temporary relief. But fear is still there inside right? You have to cut it out from the root. 

    Try meditation. You may follow any simple method of meditation of your choice.

    I personally recommend Heartfulness Meditaion.I have been doing it for over 10 years.

    Also be confident that there is love around you and always give a self suggestion that everyone you see and meet actually are loving and caring about you and that you too are feeling the same way about others.

    Prayers for your well being.
