I have been pulled aside and asked politely to take at least 30 minutes for break because of labor laws and because I am recording that I am taking the break. I am trying but I am only hitting 15-21 minutes. Whenever I leave my desk I feel lost and afraid. I feel safe in my desk and I really don't want to leave it. I don't even leave on time because it takes about an hour to get the nerve to leave my desk. What is wrong with me? In every other area of my life I am completely normal but I am like a drug addict when it comes to my desk.

Sounds to me like you're having an identity crisis.
You seem happy in your confined quarters because you feel safe and important. You have a purpose there at that job, and maybe you feel like you're lacking in other areas.
Try to explore your feelings and WHY you feel so "at home" at that desk. Then, work from there.

You are exhibiting definite anxiety behaviours. Does your work have an HR department? You should talk to someone there about what your workplace offers as far as counselling. Some employers will pay or your benefits may cover a few sessions with a therapist to get to the bottom of the issues you are having.

Sister, this is anxiety phobia. Online is not the forum for this too many jerks, please use your medical card before the office manager who must already have a hint there is a mental problem here makes you seek a evaluation. Do it yourself, this is related to obcessive complusive diagnoisis and is treatable by meds and therapy---insist on the therapy part.

You feel secure in your own surroundings . Maybe it's an insecurity issue. Try and find peace around you and expand your comfort zone.

Do you sleep under your desk as well? Your "problem" makes no sense, and seems awfully silly.
