agoraphobia

[lizardwarz-]

I like how Claire walks she doesn't step on any cracks.

“Instead of doing that,


of course I had a panic attack”

Lyrics
Going to the dog park
Going to the dog park
Going to the dog park
Me and claire bear
Always and forever
Going to the dogg park

Can we just appreciate the calm, yet realistic voice acting? Like, damn

I've watched this video so many times, it's one of my favorite pieces of art. The narration is so good, and combining it with Claire acting anxious and cooped up. It makes me feel like he loves his dog so much but his fear of going out means she goes out less too which is bad for her. It sucks when you feel like your own mental health is impacting the people you love, but you both want to be there for eachother. Really powerful, and just real.

agoraphobia- fear of places and situations that might cause panic, helplessness, or embarrassment.

sonder - "the realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own".

“hi claire.”
i don’t get out to see anybody. at all. i still have that foundational intense desire for human connection.
“that’s not for you! that’s not for you!”
claire is my best friend. i talk to her the most, i hang out with her the most, on small walks. i definitely give her the most belly rubs out of anybody in my life.
i think i was born with agoraphobia, ‘cause i remember, as a toddler, looking up at the sky, worrying about gravity not working, and me just getting sucked up. and when i look up, all these feelings immediately rush up i-in - - the feeling of being unstable, the feeling of intense dizziness, the feeling of lightheadedness...
i was walking down the main street in my neighborhood - - this woman was talking on the phone, and she said “steven i can’t really do the seventeenth, can we do the nineteenth?”
this small detail of this person’s life just reminded me how she has her own unique, like, life experie - - her own... she has her own life. and of course, instead of capitalizing on this moment of existential wonder by going home to write some dense essay with a lot of big words in it about how insane - - so many people exist in the world, and i just have my own little small experience; instead of doing that, i, of course - - i had a panic attack.
i’ve been diagnosed with clinical depression, general anxiety disorder, panic attack disorder, adhd... i’m forgetting one. oh, and agoraphobic disorder.
“going to the dog park! going to the dog park! we’re going to the dog park! me and claire bear! always and forever! going to the dog park!”

[nschwartz]

“ADHD....I’m forgetting one” if that ain’t an ADHD experience idk what is lmao

[lonpotato]

When he said "She has her own life"

I really felt it.

[beyza]

this art style definetly has childish thing in it. And just like childs this art style hows us how the feeling and the meanings inside of the video is pure and raw. Coming straight from the heart. The animation's theme and the art style just completing each other like puzzles

[Mewkityy]

I didn't realize Claire was the dog until the end and thought the dog had agoraphobia

[g-hmd]

"adhd and... i'm forgetting one"
thats a real mood

[josieb]

I don't know why, but the part where he was singing made me cry.

[rchairr]

as someone with rapidly worsening agoraphobia this video just struck me deep within my soul. i dont think ive ever sobbed so fucking hard at something external like this in my life. there's just something so... raw about it. it resonates within me in a way i can't explain.

[hannah]

when he said he was afraid gravity would just switch off....i kinda froze for a second. i really thought i was the only person who had that fear as a toddler because those i told just thought i was being my imaginative self or just being weird.

[thereisnofood]

i never knew any other person was afraid of the sky and gravity not working when they were growing up..i always thought that was just my dumb irrational fear

[yolofesh]

In portuguese, agora means now. When I saw the name of the video, i really thought it was about the fear of the present
