[@siouxsie217]

Strange House please.

[@Erin49694]

thank you for clarifying this. i tell people i’m agoraphobic and they think it means i can’t leave my house. it’s more than that. i don’t like putting myself into situations where I know I’ll have a panic attack. for me that’s anything really high up and also open spaces i.e malls and arenas. It’s hard, but I try not to avoid these places as much as I can because I know the more I avoid something the worse my anxiety will get

[@angeldust3981]

Lol

[@etourdizzy]

me too

[@MyCIAgirl4]

This is amazing, the commentary about this disorder! This is reality and having this explained is what is needed to understand the individual’s emotions. Thank you, Dr. Tracy!

[@Serenity113]

I had agoraphobia. I was unable to leave my house for 6 years. At the time I took care of my elderly father who was also housebound because of a stroke. We had to rely on other family members for food and trips to the doctor. My agoraphobia wasn’t this extreme like in this movie. I was able to go out to sit on the porch, water the plants, get the mail, and take out the trash. I researched my condition and learned about exposure therapy so I basically forced myself to walk down the street little by little to “train” my brain into thinking that it’s okay to leave the house. Long story short I went to therapy and went back to college and gotten a job. Still get anxious about leaving my home but I manage it.

Hey you are really courageous. It's very hard for me to get over my fears.

[@BeingBetter]

That's a great story. It gives me hope because I also have agoraphobia.

[@rosewest5168]

I have always wondered that and been told it doesn't make sense when i've told a professional ...the fact that I've got a fear going out of being seen. I'm scared but I don't know why...but I do know I don't want to be seen by anybody because of my anxiety

[@monalisakindalisa8644]

As someone who has it for like six years and half and knew what is it two years ago it was such a hard journey for me, like I thought it was a curse I wasn't a normal human being like there's actually people like me in the world? And it was just a post shared by one of my friends about her favorite singer (who have anxiety) it was a long one but something inside me (which I'm grateful for) wanted to read it and I did it was a real such a moment in my life when I knew what I was suffering from all this years the issue wasn't ME, I had it when I was a child so I was supposed to go to school and go out with my family and it was a living HELL but it all paid off at the end, I can go to a lot of places and do a lot of things I can understand myself more and not to be hard on it I can give myself more hope. All this stories that I hear about people not leaving their houses for years made me sad for them but at the same time happy for myself (I hope no one will get upset over this) remembering all this embarrassments that happened to me because of this panic attacks, how I was so sad that people can live their life as normal students young adults while I can't have a bit of it this stories inspired me and I hope the people who said them to be at such a healthy place. My best advice for anyone who is suffering from this harsh illness is to not give up and don't let it have control over you and the most important thing leave your house, it's the worst place to stay in for a long periods of time it can make things worst, you want to get your life back again little by little so it's gonna take a long time try to find someone you will rely on and them taking you to places like the mall the sports club it's gonna be hard but trust me it's WORTH IT, you deserve to live like a normal human being and do all of the things you want to so don't lay back and let it have the wheel. Hugs to all of u💗💗💗

[@marciss8372]

The psychologist put it very elegantly: "it's a fear of being afraid." Sadly the movie was a disappointment in portraying agoraphobia. It is not a fear of outdoors per se, it is a fear of having a panic attack or "losing it" with passers-by witnessing it and the shame that that brings.

[@winonapurple7957]

i went from not being able to open my windows but now im going outside little by little,i go a walk near my house few times a week now but it still does get bad and ill be back to locking myself in again

[@xwallyallyx]

You’re doing great!

[@BlueEyesASMR]

Walks are such a big deal, great job!!

[@monalisakindalisa8644]

You are actually doing great as someone who have it, the best thing to do is to always push yourself further and further and to be with someone in the process, it's gonna be hard at first but you will see the big difference

[@yiasminathefangirl]

that’s great to hear, I personally love a good success story & so I do hope you can soon be able to overcome the anxiety that comes with going outside xx

[@sajini7925]

So proud of you for even doing that!

[@MelissaRae1975]

I just watched the movie. I didn't think it captured the disorder (from a layman's POV) mainly bcs she had a renter...he was a stranger she never did a background check on....Agoraphobics I would thunk would be very selective about who they let in around them

[@decide2think]

Very interesting, including the part where she pays the courier with cash… Except that it makes little sense since to actually get cash where one would typically need to go out to an ATM to get it. And it’s typically hard to get cash just mailed to you. Since she is probably getting disability benefits deposited monthly, much easier to pay by a smartphone app linked to her bank acct… Just sayin. Looking forward to the movie though!

[@Blorb-v3y]

Good point!

[@AnxietyRat]

I think the book the movie is based on is getting a bit old? So paying with your phone and online transactions weren't as popular as they are now.

[@lavivaevey]

She had a lodger. Maybe he paid rent in cash.

[@AnxietyRat]

@@lavivaevey ah, smart thinking! That actually makes a lot of sense! It's probably from her lodger. That's the logical answer... Because with how housebound she is... She definitely is not able to get to an ATM on a regular basis. Tbh I'm surprised she even has a lodger! ... I know I wouldn't be able to invite a stranger into my safe space. That would be extremely triggering. But everyone with agoraphobia has different fears and thoughts so it could be something not as triggering for the characters mental illness as it is for me. I absolutely hate it when repair men have to come into my house to fix something. But I live with my parents... So they are the ones who call them.. If it were up to me things would probably stay broken, sadly. Usually, thankfully, they warn me when the strangers will be coming so I can hide and take food into my room incase I get hungry and keep away from them. But just the idea of them being there makes me very uncomfortable/anxious.

[@justinjohnson6189]

Great stuff from Dr. Tracy!

[@RhaeyaCreations]

I have agoraphobia. I rarely leave the house because of the fear of having an attack in public. They suck SO MUCH!!! but I still put myself in uncomfortable situations, (stores, theatres, etc.) But I generally love being outside, just not around large groups of people. Mainly because if I’m experiencing manifestations of the panic attacks, people look at me like I have the plague.

[@yunniekal]

I feel like this is happening to me. I developed anxiety from bc and after stopping it and trying to heal... things happened and my loved ones left me. Everything in this town is tied to memories of him. It hurts. I dont like going outside....i really just want to go home to him.

[@lemonade9503]

I’ve been following her on tiktok!!!

[@NealSchultz]

The movie was good until the impossibly warp speed ending where EVERYTHING was EXPLAINED in about 90 seconds. Way Too Fast. There were SO MANY QUESTIONS about the NEIGHBORS that did not MAKE SENSE. This is "typical" high-budget Netflix movie lately. Sadly. Lots of money on cinematography, expensive first-rate actors. However, where Netflix fail is rough-draft scripts that don't go through a second draft. The rough scripts really ruin these Netflix movies. So many times....we look at each other at the end and we say "whaaaaat? we have questions!".....

[@thomasyarnall999]

It was released on Netflix but was not made by Netflix. It was supposed to be released in the theaters.

[@MrAdryan1603]

In context I think Julianne Moore's character was being sarcastic and trying to make a joke about how nice and big the house actually is, it didn't seem to me she was actually insulting the house. I don't know why I felt the need to comment this, and I may be wrong because yes she did stop herself from exploring further bcuz she had just met the owner of the house (who she obv saw as a nice person) and she maybe realized that she didn't understand agoraphobia and didn't know what might upset her and/or didn't want to be generally rude by being too nosy especially after she had just seen her go through something traumatic. Anyway, great video! I'm def subscribing bcuz you seem like a really fun person with great information and explanations about interesting topics. Cheers!

[@thomasyarnall999]

I agree! A house like that would cost millions. I can't believe that this "Doctor" didn't get that.

[@MrAdryan1603]

@@thomasyarnall999 Yeah, a property like that in Manhattan would be $10-$15 million. Can you believe that? The apartment I lived in was I think like 6 times higher than where I live now... I spent every cent basically just living there, horrible idea, really expensive place, but anyway.. I just don't understand how she owns that or why, or what she's doing with all the other floors and rooms. It's so crazy to me, I was trying to imagine different scenarios when I saw the movie but was drawing a blank. She must be from a really rich family, or they did really well renting it all out at some point or..? I have no idea. Guess it doesn't matter but I wish they wouldn't given some hint ;) Cheers

[@maddog8356]

“Truth Doctor” is such an egotistical title to bestow upon yourself, especially when you’re talking BS about something you have no experience with-and prescribing meds for your patients doesn’t count. Unless you lived the life of an agoraphobic person, all the studying you’ve done doesn’t count as experience. As someone who actually is agoraphobic, this doctor’s reviewing of a film she hasn’t seen yet, and her correlation of a Hollywood film script to real, actual agoraphobia is unprofessional, disingenuous, and self-serving. And, BTW, it’s people like this doctor that make us distrustful of human contact.
