I just started with my job a month ago. I sit next to my supervisor which makes me very self conscious and triggers my anxiety even though I know I am not doing anything wrong. Also, it's a high traffic area because the trainer also sits in front of me so there are also a lot of people who comes all the time asking her questions.
I am also diagnosed with ADHD so all of those people coming and going distracts me and it's just sensory overload. At the end of the work day, I am exhausted and burnt out, which affects my family life.
I tried asking my supervisor about switching cubicles, she asked why, I said because I want to immerse myself more with the team because I didn't want her to know about my anxiety and ADHD fearing it would affect how she sees and treats me. She said no, because they are hiring more people and those people will be seating in the empty spot but none of them have started yet.
My supervisor is very nice but my seating arrangement is really affecting me.

Well, you need to learn to talk about your anxiety. And you need to learn not to lie in the workplace. Just come clean and ask her mentioning the anxiety.

I would recommend approaching your supervisor again, and being up front about the reasons you want to move. As a supervisor, I would appreciate honesty in this situation and see it as you learning to manage your anxiety and ADHD, rather than use it as a reason to judge you. Simply stating that the trainer's through traffic is distracting you too much might be enough, too.
If you have a diagnosis of ADHD and anxiety, consider asking your doctor to write you a note saying you need this accommodation if your manager is still unwilling to move you.
