mentally exhausted interacting with other people

Every day. 

I work with a very friendly group of people and their chatter exhausts me. Utterly. The room spins, my body aches, my head aches. But they are lovely and considerate and when I say "I'm going to sit in a dark room" they just say "ok!" and accept it.

Socially, I manage an hour with one other person at a time. That's my limit. 

Hi, and welcome to the forum. It's good to hear that you are working with supportive people at least.
