Well, I've experienced a lot of what you're talking about. The part about too much input. It seems as if there is too much too-muchness everywhere and I get horribly overstimulated. The lights and noise, and most especially the people. I don't get irritated or angry, I just feel overwhelmed.
And so to me, disliking to go out isn't a phobia, it's a perfectly reasonable response to a sensory system that just doesn't have a good enough shield. Now whether not being able to shield yourself from sensory input is a bipolar thing, I'm not sure.
I don't suppose oversensitive sensory system is a choice on the form? Or highly tuned to the environment (if it's a form you want to look good on).
With no answers, but a lot of empathy,
Dinah
