While appearing on RedTableTalk, Kim Basinger detailed her childhood anxiety and how that would eventually carry over into her adult life
As she got older, Basinger developed agoraphobia, which is defined by the Mayo Clinic as “a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed.”
Basinger said it eventually got to the point where she “wouldn’t leave the house,” “would no longer go to dinner” and “could not even have people for dinner” at her house. “We tried that, and it’s really horrible to feel that it won as really fiercely as [it] did during those years, you know, and not know what it was. It’s like something just completely shuts down within you, and you have to relearn everything.
“You live with a dry mouth all the time, you’re very shaky, you’re just so exhausted all the time,” she said.
