I have this problem too, only my disabilities are generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD. Large crowds are usually my trigger (small crowds are fine), causing me to have major panic attacks. But I've found over the years that sometimes highly stressful situations and too much caffeine can cause them too. Luckily, my medication keeps them in check mostly.

Now, I'm going back to school (online) to get my BA in History with a minor in Information Science and eSociety (my uni requires a minor to go with the History major) and working on my own online store. It does get stressful at times (especially when lots of assignments come due around the same time!) but it is interesting.
