@yankonthis Well I answer this for Germany here. Rich people (and also those who work for the military or the state) do in fact get efficient treatment, whilst all "normal people" have only a choice amongst three schools of therapy, all of which are regarded pretty inefficient by international standards. From my experience with them and having read about more efficient therapies (and working in self-therapy with them since a while) I totally share this judgment.
Been dealing with this for 3 years and it's been 3 years long enough. Oddly enough I have a generally good time being outdoors, in fact I feel even safer when I'm outside and I can see the sky [clouds are nice]. However classrooms, subways, trains, even long car rides were a struggle for me. I go off to college in a few months and I can't help but anticipate anxiety, but I know I'm going to be OK. This isn't a "forever" kind of thing. And I hope anyone struggling with this knows that. :D
@DarkSphinxx Well, then it's not agoraphobia, but a social anxiety disorder. Both share many symptoms (like the anxiety reactions and avoiding to go outside), but need a different approach in therapy.

It's amazing how much we have in common...this made me cry for some odd reason .I have agoraphobia and social anxiety disorder. Sometimes I'll sit in the house all day and play my piano and sing music or write poetry. Smh. I dread walking outside, across big streets and riding the bus to work where I have to interact and talk to people ALL day long. :(
@KatarraParson I totally understand you.. I'm having trouble with just walking to the bus station, not to mention walking over street in a large group of people.. I feel like i'm going to disappear.. :(
@shmu992 IKR!! I get sooooo nervous at the bus stop. I feel like everyone's looking at me and judging me. It's like I wanna escape, but I'm trapped. I even start to loose my balance when I walk. lol.
@KatarraParson ah.. that is so familiar, i loose balance all the time.. -.-
but tomorrow i'm going to see a psychologist.. i already went to the school psychologist who referred me to the institute for mental illness.. so i hope i'll make progress soon.. in time.. whatever..
okay ummmm... panic attacks?.. okay first off this video is great and you are awesome cohenism :) second.... judging by the comments and stuff i think i have this condition.... not bad but slightly. i had a panic attack once but my sister called it an "emotional breakdown" so im not sure. i definitely feel uncomfortable around groups of people and places im not familiar with. maybe i have a mild case of agoraphobia....
Dude, I have had panic attacks, and once I let one panic attack overwhelm me, and when I faced it, it slowly started to go away. When you experience having one, no matter how hard it is, just dont do anything, dont jump around cry, just lye down relaxed and say to yourself that it shall pass, like numerous times before !!!! Just let it overwhelm you, dont fight it man !!!! it WILL go away, God willingly ...
i used to fear getting a panic attack again after i got one in the middle of chemistry class... its embarassing. but then i stopped worrying about embarassing myself and said fuck it.. and they went away.
Please go to my channel and see my testimony. I used to suffer from anxiety, panic attacks and agarophobia. I have been set free for over 5 years. No meds, no "panic away" or "linden method". You can be set free too and it won't cost you a dime. GOD bless you all.
I've been suffering from this since I was 16 and got accepted into college early. The initial shock gave me my first panic attack and I didn't know what was happening, so I had to return home and give up my dreams. It's a very controlling and sad thing to suffer with and I wish everyone who has this and other stress related problems all the best.

This is a very real condition. I traveled 1,900 miles to visit some one and over the course of 5 days I witnessed the effects it had on her. I even bought her a Gps system so that she can get around easier and avert any panic attacks. She is a beautiful person and this phobia doesn't negate her value as a person but it does presents its share of challenges.

@PanteraUnleashed Since the sentimental sadness of this past February, which I anticipated and understood The distance began growing and a wall was being erected. Out of love, I chipped away at that wall NOT to disturb you but to prevent your Prison from being built. If it is helpful to you to Blame me then I love you enough to take that blame. Howver, I will NEVER apologize for demonstrating my Caring, Concern and LOVE for you. God Bless You
@PanteraUnleashed No matter what, you are my heart and I would give my life for you. I truly care about what is going on with you and sis. I know that has to be tearing at you on the inside. Our brief talk had so much fresh emotion but I'm past that. I love you, hope we speak and give you the respect of listening.
@saalakhanREBORN Seriously. Stop already. If you want to message this person, feel free to do so, but stop spamming my video with your ridiculous comments.
@Cohenism No offense intended, but if u simply review the remarks, you would see that my first comment was about some one I know afflicted with this. After came a unsolicited response which ignited some personal issues. While they may not be appropiate for this award winning video, the comments are far from ridiculous. So my pardon, good luck to u and remember there is nothing that GOD and having a back bone can't cure. Peace
@Cohenism Don't mind saalakhan he's a NUTJOB!!!, BI-POLOR AND HAVE DEMONS!!! On him. Thats why he keeps stalking Pantera and won't leave her alone. Pray to the Most High that he get them DEMONS!!! off of him. Unless he will be going to the psy ward.

i'm going through your videos in chronological order and i love this video very much. i'm glad you had the guts to put it out and talk about it; not many youtubers talk about serious things such as thing. heck, not many people in general talk about this.
i was officially diagonsed with anxiety two years ago when i was in grade 11. i soon got agoraphobia. i didn't even know such a thing could exist until my best friend told me.
As the comments on this video show, this type of thing is so common. It can be really hard to seek help--people feel like they should be able to control their own behavior--but the freedom you get from overcoming something like this is definitely worth the struggle!
I didn't know it had a name for what i had...or maybe sometimes still have...
It's amazing how this video depicts exactly how it feels, like i'd be standing at the window, looking outside and watching my clock, thinking....that's my time leaving me...
i had the oposite. in public, it was like humilition was stoping me from having a panic atack. i didnt want to freek out anyone i was with so i guess i just supressed it. but at home i was comfortable and with people i trusted. so i felt like i wouldnt be jedged and they would take care of me if i started having one. so often times i did. a number of things stoped it happening. i found someone that could efficiently stop them. so i became less afraid of them not going away. and then they did.
Nice Video. It reminds me of when agoraphobia was really bad. Reminds me of wanting to turn back when faced with the fear and so many times doing just that. I always got a kind of weird pain in my legs a kind of tensing tingling feeling in my calves that shot out to my toes. Haha maybe that's just me. Pushing my limits now and loving it. I couldn't even imagine seeing the places I'm going now. Vancouver '10 opening ceremonies here I come. Nice Video Cohenism
:/ It is to the point where I feel nauseous just sitting at home now... I haven't gone to school (still in High School) since September 23rd... I want to... but I can't....
I heard in your podcast that you had suffered from this, so when I saw this title in your list of vids, I decided to come check it out. I'm really glad that although you have such a great sense of humor, that you decided to make a serious video on this serious subject. Good going with the video.
This video has so strong emotional atmosphere... I was nearly shocked. I watched it so much times. I don´t know if you were sufforing from this disorder in the time of taking the movie, but those emotions on your face are incredibly deep... I really hope you are past this now. Thanks a lot for the video. It is not just a video. it is a piece of art really...
Jakey I love you so much!! You are so amazing!! We have shared this struggle of agony together and I want you to know you are beautiful and strong and we will beat this!! Love Crystal
I've dealt with Anxiety and Depression issues for most of my life, and when I moved away from my hometown I developed a small case of Agoraphobia. I'm so glad I came across your channel today and watched this video. It's nice to know that there are people going through similar things and your not totally alone in it. It takes a lot of strengths to be able to talk and share something like this the way you do, and I thank you so much for doing so.
Thank you for this video. You know, it makes me smile to know that their are other people around us who care.
I like that you can show us your inner thoughts. It's not the fact that you've gone through the anxiety disorder, it's the fact that you take a step towards helping those who are also going through it.
Is it possible to later develop this disease.. i just started getting anxiety attacks this past year and i hate going somewhere i havent been.. i freak out in car rides and i never use to or have i had a fear of planes but now i do. My parents wont let me get my license until this all this is sorted out.. and i don't think it ever will be.
this was truely touching... i had a time where i couldnt leave my room for weeks... scared to go anywhere out of my room, it feels all like blur but im getting better i think this video really appealed to how i was. tho it wasnt as short as 4 min ..lol.. keep it up its really good =]
Nice video, Dude. I have been very socially anxious for about 4 weeks and I am actually doing some of these things. Looking out the window wanting to go outside, but not knowing quite how I can get there. Hoping that I can get better. Hopefully, I can escape my anxious thoughts and get outside. Thanks for making this.
I feel your pain bro. I don't have agorophobia, however, I can get major anxiety being at crowded places, like in church. It's tough. I'm doing better now, there was a time when going to the grocery store was very difficult, almost impossible
I think that's how someone would see another with agoraphobia. The intensity you wanna see can't be seen because the intensity you wanna see can only be felt and thought.
I do have Agoraphobia. I feel that most videos including this one truley dont understand How agoraphobia really is. I watch alot of them trust me. I dont spend my time looking out the window. Agoraphobia is something I didnt realize I even had until it was severe. Good try. This video makes agoraphobia look like a Happy Meal.=)
Some really difficult subjects your touching on recently. i can see there are depths to your character including compassion and a unique perception that will always allow you to be heard. keep up the good work. its brilliant :)
Oh God Jake. First of all, I love the scenes in this video - they're all so beautiful and just...
Second, I have never encountered anyone who truly understood how hard it can be! Third of all, you picked what is probably my favorite song of all time - so all of this couldn't have hit me harder. But I want to thank you, for making this video - for making it a little easier for all of us in the same situation.
My tears are of happy, even if they wont stop coming.
I can't really understand how you feel as I've never been affected by anything like this but I can hope that you get better, also that you have helped other people suffering or even just made others more aware so that if they are given the chance to help someone they can recognise it as a problem. Thank you for sharing yourself.
anxiety is something i've dealt with for a while, probably for as long as i can remember. a couple of weeks ago one of the buses broke down and the other was packed. before i could leave the doors shut. by the time i got to my stop i had cried and cursed out a guy (who probably didn't speak very good english) because he wouldn't leave the window open. not a proud moment but ...
Only people who share the same affliction can really understand what it feels like to be bogged down by it. Friends and family always say stuff like, "You need to face your fears" or "There's nothing to be afraid of."
Wishing they could truly understand my fears is just pointless optimism. Instead, most of us just keep it to ourselves, because we pretty much feel that no one will understand.
What we all need to remember though, is that we're not alone in this!
If you just read the comments, there are tons of people who struggle with this very same thing! There is hope for us, and we just need to stay strong and keep doing as much as we can to grow ourselves.
It's an incredibly arduous task, but I really believe in you.
Perseverance produces character. I believe that some of the strongest people are those that have gone through debilitating afflictions such as these. You will overcome it, and be much stronger because of it.
It's so cool that you made this. I have social anxiety so I know what it's like to often choose to stay home, even if part of you really wants to go out
I use to have slight agoraphobia too. I was really scared of my panic attacks. It's nooo fun! Got over it with age though, as I grew more comfortable with myself and others. Best of luck man!
I don't have agoraphobia, but I do have a needle phobia. I know how debilitating that is for me and how it's something you really just have to work hard on.
I think the most effective part was when you grabbed the door but didn't open it. It really potrayed the want to be able to do things that make you anxious and how much a struggle a phobia can be.
I don't quite have agoraphobia, but I do have an anxiety disorder which sometimes manifests in an agoraphobia kind of way. So I have some idea of what it's like... It's so admirable that you had the courage to express this to the world, and it's such an inspiration for other sufferers. Well done.
simply amazing! I also have Agoraphobia and it has been hard for me...especially at school. It's nice to know that there are other people out there who know what your going through. thanks for making this.
When the video ended...I stood for about one minute at the screen in awe. This is a whole knew dimension of videos. This is not fiction. This is life.This is why you are awesome.
My last full on attack was about a year ago when I tried to enter a classmates party. Barely got one foot in the door or my shoes off before I had to rip my jacket off and run outside to try and relax.
I found just reading up on anxiety attacks helped me overcome them. And knowing the personal situations that cause them. Not to avoid them but to just mentally prepare for them before the attack comes. Hot summer days, being put on the spot, entering a room late.
Wow Jake, I never knew about that before. This video inspires me to stay strong, even if I don't have anxiety. My heart goes out to all those who suffer from Agoraphobia.
A friend of mine from my old church suffered (suffers?) from agoraphobia. Unfortunately I was living in a different city for most of the time she was recovering. Now she manages it really well, though, and leads a normal life.
I've struggled with Anxiety and Depression for years now.
I recently had to quit my job because my panic attacks were getting out of hand. And that scares me because I feel like, as much as I want to go out and be around other people, I can't.
These last few weeks, though, I've been feeling a little better about it. I'm so glad you did this.
Seeing your struggle has really helped me with my own. It's nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with anxiety.
This is so expressionistic. I really loved it and I'm glad you're able to share something so personal and are able to reach out to people who are struggling. I don't suffer from agoraphobia but I've studied it and I can appreciate what you're doing through this video!
This video is expertly made, and the music is amazing. I can't find it anywhere though, so do you think you can email me the song? I would reaaaallyy appreciate it!
This is really awesome. I'm sorry that you have this phobia. I don't know what it's like, but I'm glad that you're really trying and encouraging others to get through it.
Wow, I really related to you in this video, and feel immensely for you and others who have this issue. I used to suffer greatly from paranoia and panic disorder paired together. I often missed school and other public gatherings because I was afraid the large crowds would make me have a panic attack. I'm on medication for it now, and am glad that you're sharing this and letting people know there is hope (whether through changing mindset or medication)
I'm glad there are people out there getting help. I know that many of us are even too afraid to do that. I just hope that people will be able to feel hope from watching this. There is a way out.
Props to you, Jake, for putting yourself out there with this video. Especially on your channel which is pretty much all comedy. Very well done. I sat here mesmerized for four and a half minutes.
We all have obstacles in our lives. Things out of our control that stop us from doing things we wish for. But you are incredibly smart and talented, and you can and will get through this and continue to do great things. Believe. Good luck and G-d bless.
I have that. In fact, I think most people who frequently use the internet have that. I used to think I was too lazy or I didn't try hard enough. When I became a senior in high school I met my best friend who I could be comfortable with, and I was only comfortable in public with her. She's gone now, so I'm back to where I started.
There is always another opportunity around the corner. There are great people everywhere, people who can relate to you and make you feel comfortable in your own skin. Don't resign yourself to "where you started." You've broken through once, and you can do it again.
I'm not trying to say it will be easy, but you know you can do it. Everyone has something to overcome, and this is your something. Take charge of yourself, and don't be afraid or ashamed get help if you need it. Good luck.
I have been in that same situation a few times. The most important thing you can do is realize the comfort in yourself. I'm still working on doing that entirely, but as long as there's growth, you're in a good place. I've had to do a lot of things that scared the crap out of me, but it has all been worth it to get where I am now.
I met someone who was Agoraphobic. He had come to stay with us and he was freaking out because he was so far from home. I couldn't imagine having to deal with that all the time. I hope your doing okay with it :)
I kinda have this. But i just go into a situation headstrong, no think about panic

Out of love, I chipped away at that wall NOT to disturb you but to prevent your Prison from being built. If it is helpful to you to Blame me then I love you enough to take that blame. Howver, I will NEVER apologize for demonstrating my Caring, Concern and LOVE for you. God Bless You

@PanteraUnleashed No matter what, you are my heart and I would give my life for you. I truly care about what is going on with you and sis. I know that has to be tearing at you on the inside. Our brief talk had so much fresh emotion but I'm past that. I love you, hope we speak and give you the respect of listening.

You're overbearing.

@Cohenism No offense intended, but if u simply review the remarks, you would see that my first comment was about some one I know afflicted with this. After came a unsolicited response which ignited some personal issues. While they may not be appropiate for this award winning video, the comments are far from ridiculous. So my pardon, good luck to u and remember there is nothing that GOD and having a back bone can't cure. Peace

@Cohenism Don't mind saalakhan he's a NUTJOB!!!, BI-POLOR AND HAVE DEMONS!!! On him. Thats why he keeps stalking Pantera and won't leave her alone. Pray to the Most High that he get them DEMONS!!! off of him. Unless he will be going to the psy ward.

This is a very real condition. I traveled 1,900 miles to visit some one and over the course of 5 days I witnessed the effects it had on her. I even bought her a Gps system so that she can get around easier and avert any panic attacks. She is a beautiful person and this phobia doesn't negate her value as a person but it does presents its share of challenges.

i'm going through your videos in chronological order and i love this video very much. i'm glad you had the guts to put it out and talk about it; not many youtubers talk about serious things such as thing. heck, not many people in general talk about this.
i was officially diagonsed with anxiety two years ago when i was in grade 11. i soon got agoraphobia. i didn't even know such a thing could exist until my best friend told me.
i hope you are doing better.
remember: anxiety does not define you.

This is really great.
As the comments on this video show, this type of thing is so common. It can be really hard to seek help--people feel like they should be able to control their own behavior--but the freedom you get from overcoming something like this is definitely worth the struggle!

I didn't know it had a name for what i had...or maybe sometimes still have...
It's amazing how this video depicts exactly how it feels, like i'd be standing at the window, looking outside and watching my clock, thinking....that's my time leaving me...
BlueNeptune1963 2 years ago
i had the oposite. in public, it was like humilition was stoping me from having a panic atack. i didnt want to freek out anyone i was with so i guess i just supressed it. but at home i was comfortable and with people i trusted. so i felt like i wouldnt be jedged and they would take care of me if i started having one. so often times i did. a number of things stoped it happening. i found someone that could efficiently stop them. so i became less afraid of them not going away. and then they did.

Nice Video. It reminds me of when agoraphobia was really bad. Reminds me of wanting to turn back when faced with the fear and so many times doing just that. I always got a kind of weird pain in my legs a kind of tensing tingling feeling in my calves that shot out to my toes. Haha maybe that's just me. Pushing my limits now and loving it. I couldn't even imagine seeing the places I'm going now. Vancouver '10 opening ceremonies here I come. Nice Video Cohenism

I've dealt with Anxiety and Depression issues for most of my life, and when I moved away from my hometown I developed a small case of Agoraphobia. I'm so glad I came across your channel today and watched this video. It's nice to know that there are people going through similar things and your not totally alone in it. It takes a lot of strengths to be able to talk and share something like this the way you do, and I thank you so much for doing so.
God Bless.

Nice video, Dude. I have been very socially anxious for about 4 weeks and I am actually doing some of these things. Looking out the window wanting to go outside, but not knowing quite how I can get there. Hoping that I can get better. Hopefully, I can escape my anxious thoughts and get outside. Thanks for making this.

I think that's how someone would see another with agoraphobia. The intensity you wanna see can't be seen because the intensity you wanna see can only be felt and thought.

I do have Agoraphobia. I feel that most videos including this one truley dont understand How agoraphobia really is. I watch alot of them trust me. I dont spend my time looking out the window. Agoraphobia is something I didnt realize I even had until it was severe. Good try. This video makes agoraphobia look like a Happy Meal.=)
stefaniburns 2 years ago
Haha.
This video wasn't meant to accurately describe the intensity of this affliction. It was meant to show hope to those of us who've share in it.
I used to struggle with agoraphobia for about 2 years. Couldn't even leave my room, let alone the house.
Believe me, I know what agoraphobia is like. It's not something that can be described in a 4 minute music video.
But again, that wasn't the point. :)

Second, I have never encountered anyone who truly understood how hard it can be! Third of all, you picked what is probably my favorite song of all time - so all of this couldn't have hit me harder. But I want to thank you, for making this video - for making it a little easier for all of us in the same situation.
My tears are of happy, even if they wont stop coming.
Just... thank you.

Thank you for sharing yourself.

anxiety is something i've dealt with for a while, probably for as long as i can remember. a couple of weeks ago one of the buses broke down and the other was packed. before i could leave the doors shut. by the time i got to my stop i had cried and cursed out a guy (who probably didn't speak very good english) because he wouldn't leave the window open. not a proud moment but ...

I'm agoraphobic. It's more severe when I am in crowds though. It's also more severe in new towns. This video made me cry.
When I am in a crowd, I freak out and try to run away. It shuts out some of my world. I'm scared. No one understands it.
imshorty5 2 years ago
Only people who share the same affliction can really understand what it feels like to be bogged down by it. Friends and family always say stuff like, "You need to face your fears" or "There's nothing to be afraid of."
Wishing they could truly understand my fears is just pointless optimism. Instead, most of us just keep it to ourselves, because we pretty much feel that no one will understand.
What we all need to remember though, is that we're not alone in this!
Cohenism 2 years ago
If you just read the comments, there are tons of people who struggle with this very same thing! There is hope for us, and we just need to stay strong and keep doing as much as we can to grow ourselves.
It's an incredibly arduous task, but I really believe in you.
Perseverance produces character. I believe that some of the strongest people are those that have gone through debilitating afflictions such as these. You will overcome it, and be much stronger because of it.
Just stay strong...

I don't have agoraphobia, but I do have a needle phobia. I know how debilitating that is for me and how it's something you really just have to work hard on.
I think the most effective part was when you grabbed the door but didn't open it. It really potrayed the want to be able to do things that make you anxious and how much a struggle a phobia can be.

Well done. It spoke to me.
My last full on attack was about a year ago when I tried to enter a classmates party. Barely got one foot in the door or my shoes off before I had to rip my jacket off and run outside to try and relax.
I found just reading up on anxiety attacks helped me overcome them. And knowing the personal situations that cause them. Not to avoid them but to just mentally prepare for them before the attack comes. Hot summer days, being put on the spot, entering a room late.

I can relate to this in so many ways.
I've struggled with Anxiety and Depression for years now.
I recently had to quit my job because my panic attacks were getting out of hand. And that scares me because I feel like, as much as I want to go out and be around other people, I can't.
These last few weeks, though, I've been feeling a little better about it. I'm so glad you did this.
Seeing your struggle has really helped me with my own. It's nice to know I'm not the only one dealing with anxiety.

I have that. In fact, I think most people who frequently use the internet have that. I used to think I was too lazy or I didn't try hard enough. When I became a senior in high school I met my best friend who I could be comfortable with, and I was only comfortable in public with her. She's gone now, so I'm back to where I started.
lizziethecreepy 2 years ago
There is always another opportunity around the corner. There are great people everywhere, people who can relate to you and make you feel comfortable in your own skin. Don't resign yourself to "where you started." You've broken through once, and you can do it again.
I'm not trying to say it will be easy, but you know you can do it. Everyone has something to overcome, and this is your something. Take charge of yourself, and don't be afraid or ashamed get help if you need it. Good luck.

I have been in that same situation a few times. The most important thing you can do is realize the comfort in yourself. I'm still working on doing that entirely, but as long as there's growth, you're in a good place. I've had to do a lot of things that scared the crap out of me, but it has all been worth it to get where I am now.
