I assure you that it's really just not that simple.

I am adversely effected by all manor of sensory offence — including motion in my peripheral, heat, smells, unpredictable vibration.

The real problem is that it's a downward spiral: if something is bothering me and I become agitated, I am far more likely to become aware of other things which conspire to keep me from being productive. Ultimately, I fall into a state of manic anxiety and get really down on myself for feeling so ineffective.

I really wish I could just put in earplugs. They irritate my ears.
