Oh Jenkral16, it was and is definitely for me. And all doctor's offices as well as conference rooms have fluorescent lighting. Stores do as well but the ceilings are higher. I don't know what it is that can set the anxiety off except for the fact that it flickers some and feeds into our anxious brain. Who knows, but you're not alone.

I work in a place with them and my anxiety definitely is worse there but I also hate my job lol but even at Walmart it seem pretty bad. I just didn't know it was a thing lol

Jenkral16, I was just reading that fluorescent lighting is an external anxiety trigger. Odd but true
