    Irked provides an outlet for the silent emotions to which we wish to give voice. We think that in each of us lies an artist, and that in each of us lies a story that is dying to be told…We believe that people everywhere can become less sad, or worried, or angry, or violent, or self-destructive simply by being given a forum to publish their work, and the dignity that comes with that sort of thing. We're interested in your story. Write about what propels you. Take photographs on your worst day. Make a documentary about how you are coping with the treacherous terrain that is your life.

1. Agoraphobia definition: anxiety or abnormal fear that there's no easy way to escape a situation or get help, or fear of being in a situation from which escape may be embarrassing. Most people develop agoraphobia after having one or more such panic attacks causing them to worry about having another attack and to avoid places where it may happen again such as open spaces, crowded places, public transit, shopping centers, or simply being outside their home.
