Comments on: Do You Get Cubicle Anxiety? http://www.ronalfy.com/do-you-get-cubicle-anxiety/ Life is a blog. I wanna write it. Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:19:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Sebastian W http://www.ronalfy.com/do-you-get-cubicle-anxiety/#comment-113682 Sebastian W Sat, 30 Apr 2011 06:22:18 +0000 http://ronalfy.com/2007/02/06/do-you-get-cubicle-anxiety/#comment-113682 I imagine cubicle anxiety is much more prevalent than you might think, but I'm not a fan of most of your suggestions to deal with it. Just because you don't know of long term cures doesn't mean there aren't any. Alcohol should never be used as a treatment for anything and if you don't know how to deal with your moods to a serious degree it can make things worse. And the bulk of the list seems to be the equivalant of "pretend to do your job, distract yourself, and screw the company." You did say that the post was "somewhat sarcastic" though. Maybe I misunderstood where this sarcasm was applied. I imagine cubicle anxiety is much more prevalent than you might think, but I’m not a fan of most of your suggestions to deal with it.

I was very anxious the whole time. Luckily I got to retire early and realized my dream of becoming an artist. I feel like I have been reborn now. It all was worth the 25 year wait.

But there is help out there for people who have these issues. I have in the past had panic and anxiety disorder and it has been hard to deal with.

She too had experienced panic attacks for most of her life, and like me never wanted to tell anyone. Surprisingly it wasn't therapy that she suggested. She helped me realize that in order to successfully cure my panic attacks that I'd have to take action myself.

I have to take constant breaks. You're welcome on letting you rant :) lostdmw »

In fact, it's the only part of my job that I HATE! Almost all of my cube walls are covered with pictures and posters. I grew up on a farm, outside all day....summers coming, it's only going to get worse! I just moved to this department so my thoughts are that I'll show how good of a worker I am and in a few months ask for a laptop and the freedom to work from home...or the hammock at my grandparent's house in FL :) We have other telecommuters, so I'm just biding my time. Wish me luck :) Oh, and thanks for letting me rant and moan about being in a cube. I’m in my cube now…I hate it. In fact, it’s the only part of my job that I HATE!

The first cubicle was introduced in 1968 by Herman Miller Inc. It was designed to solve a previously unknown problem with human physiology. Workers using the first prototypes of close-spaced workstations had begun to have mental breaks. The cubicle blocks peripheral vision for a concentrating knowledge worker. This prevents the subliminal detection of threat movement to trigger an attempt of the startle reflex. You may have cubicle anxiety but the alternative is much worse.
