Open plan

Today I'm interviewing for a new job, and applying for another. Keen on both positions for different reasons, I am awake at 3am, filled with anxiety. After some reflection it's not entirely directed at the interview process. In both cases I suspect I will again be placed in an open-plan office and expected to concentrate and not become overwhelmed.

Without a formal diagnosis (a personal decision I may come to regret) how can I navigate not working open-plan if that's how their office works?? I've done it before and my body just remained in a state of shock and I developed IBD which only settles when I'm alone for days at a time nd

  • Working in an open plan office was hell for me. It completely destroyed my mental health and left me with burnout for months that led into a deep depression and complete shut down.

    I'm not sure what you can do without a diagnosis, but perhaps your employer would be understanding. I know they tend to take mental health more seriously nowadays.
