Seeing this inside perspective to people who shut themselves inside all their lives is fascinating. I can't wait to see how this comic reframes acute social withdrawal.
Agoraphobia isn't what most people think it is. Hikikomori, recluses, shut-ins, hermits - those suffering from it are given a lot of different names, but those labels don't show what it's really like to live with it. Follow Elizabeth in Inside to see the harsh realities of being trapped in your own home by a phobia you can't control, as she learns to heal from her past and make the best of her future.
(This series is written and illustrated by Duchess Celestia, a real-life sufferer of agoraphobia. While some aspects of the disorder may be exaggerated to illustrate their significance and others may be limited to personal experience, the goal of the series is to depict agoraphobia with as much accuracy and authenticity as possible.)
