Since anxiety and depression are caused by learned helplessness, I think it is better to set goals than to fidget. I'm not thinking bad things about you, but that's a stim, no different from twiddling your thumbs, or tapping your foot. I guess, sometimes, I do my best thinking, during repetitive or simple chores, but it shouldn't stop at that.
Well I got one and it's handy when I'm at work. I don't liken it to anxiety or depression, I just have to have something to do with my hands. When I'm up and about in the lab I'm using my hands constantly. When I'm typing, still using my hands. When I'm in meetings....fidget cube helps out. It's better than tapping a pen and annoying everyone imo.
Yeah I also don't like that it's a fad, because I am not trendy in any aspect and i generally hate trendy things. I've been looking for something like this for a while though. My rating = 8/10
