I had panic attacks. They started and I didn't understand them. They stopped and at the time I didn't notice, they just no longer happened.


While writing a page about a possible cause of panic attacks I remembered what happened and realized what I did to stop the attacks.

I moved a computer workstation from a position where it was a room divider and family could walk by me as I used it to a corner position where the converging room walls prevented that.

There is a problem aboard us navy submarines called "screaming seaman." it is a sudden onset unexplained panic attack. It only happens while the victim is on duty in the submarine. Duty stations in modern submarines do not have cubicle level protection.

About fifty years ago designers encountered a conflict of physiology when knowledge workers using newly designed close-spaced office workstations began having mental breaks. The cubicle solved that problem.

If you have a job in a business that does not supply cubicle level protection that could be a source of your panic attacks.

Too-close side-by-side seating in classrooms is the same design problem.

I have a site page that explains this. It is part of a larger project. I plan to advertise this in college newspapers to get information on this possibility.

You can preview my site page to determine if you have exposure. If the information helps you email me from any email link on site.

The problem is called subliminal distraction outside the us. There is no name for it here. Subliminal distraction has a different meaning in psychology here.

i will add illustrations before beginning the project.


To understand the phenomenon start with the psychology demonstration then the everquest connection page.
