misty

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hazy' is the definition.
('misty' can be a synonym of 'hazy')

'it's my disorder' is the wordplay.
'disorder' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'diseased' mean this (I've seen this in other clues)).
'its'+'my'='itsmy'
'itsmy' is an anagram of 'MISTY'.

'that makes things so' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
