Courtenay: I very much wish that I could go to a movie theater without being bothered by other people in the theater. Nine times out of ten there is always someone texting, talking loudly, kicking the back of my seat, things like that. I can’t stand someone sitting directly behind me... it just drives me up the wall. With my PTSD and anxiety there isn't much I can do about it when it acts up except my first reaction which was to get up and leave the theater and wait for myself to calm down enough to go back in.
