I hear ya!
It's soooooooooo not fair that you just can't go to a friggin' movie. I mean, I am sure that your rational mind says "it's just a movie", but when those senses are overwhelmed with sound and flashes in the dark then it's like "Screw the rational mind!
However, try not to be so hard on yourself. It's all a part of the condition and it sucks right now, but that's just how it is.
I'm afraid of the mail - yes the mail and I get the same symptoms as you whenever I check it.
I will say that what helped me a lot with the dissociation is to put a piece of ice in my mouth and just leave it there. it switches my focus to the ice and helps me to snap back into the present.
Take care
