Common Questions and Answers about Social anxiety jury duty

Avatar m tn Or, if they are aware of your social anxiety, perhaps they can write a note that would excuse you from jury duty. I know that many medical conditions constitute justifiable release from jury duty. If he/she can't or won't do that, then I'm afraid you're going to have to just do the best you can. If you tremble, so what? You already explained your condition to the judge and the lawyers..........if they see you trembling, they may dismiss you immediately.
1348086 tn?1370783185 I was on a jury back about 20 years ago and I loved it! Now though, since I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, I dread the thought. As I stated, I avoid meetings and any other "can't get out of" situations.
Avatar f tn Hi I have a question. I just got summoned for jury duty and I have major anxiety and seperation issues. Is there a way to get out of it? I see that there's optional excusion for it but there's no check for anxiety.My mom said I should just write on it somewhere that I have major anxiety issues but will they accept that, being it isn't one of the things I can check off? Or do I absolutely need a note? Also, is it a doctors or therapist note that I need? Thank you!
2114467 tn?1358210256 I have gotten two jury duty summons this month. Postponed the first, fine. And then San Francisco wants me too. So I requested a release due to the fact I would have to eat in court, when I take my Vic. I also sent in 4 pages describing drugs and labs... Hope this works. And I was polite. Given I had 5 days to return info, I did not get my docs signature. Hey, this was work; give me a break universe!
721523 tn?1331581802 Usually if you have a chronic condition that can be affected by the condition that may be elicited from such a situation as jury duty they don't want you because they could possibly have to excuse you during the trial and that would mess up the whole situation...they want healthy people with the ability to sit for long hours and also have no problem with memory or communication which in some of us is seriously affected by MS. I wouldn't worry too much about it...
Avatar f tn I have always heard things about Jury Duty........if you don't show up they can put you in jail.......bla bla.......Does anyone know what the real deal is if you don't show?..........is it really a big deal? Nauty...............
15246051 tn?1439358267 Hey Ladies! Today I Got A Letter In The Mail For "Jury Duty", But I Don't Go Into The 26 & By Then I'll Be 38 Weeks! Is There A Way My Doc Can Write An Excuse So I Want Have To Participate??
Avatar f tn But if you need it, you need it. The jury duty part is, yes, you can get out of jury duty due to anxiety. Whether or not you need a doctor's note depends on your local jurisdiction, but you probably will. I would caution, though, that although you mention you're suffering anxiety because of this, you don't say how badly this is affecting your life in the sense of avoiding things. I know this is easy to say, but avoidance will make the problem harder to get over.
Avatar m tn I asked them to write me an excuse because I have really bad anxiety when I feel trapped, and lord knows one is trapped if on a jury. I was on jury duty back when I was a teenager, around 20 years ago and I loved it, but now I don't think I could take it. Psychiatrist's office hasn't called back or anything. Any advice?
Avatar f tn My mother was chosen for jury duty and there is a big elimination process once you get there. (If they don't call to say you don't have to). I think you will definitely get off, you should get the proof of pregnancy in though because who knows how long some of these cases go for?
691935 tn?1421027090 m back to jury pool on the 30th again too. A bad day on jury duty is better than a good day at work!
952564 tn?1268368647 I was summoned for jury duty. The date I need to report isn't until Aug. but, I am wondering if this is such a good idea. Has anyone here gone to jury duty knowing they are bipolar? Was it difficult? I mean with my tendancy to lose concentraion and become emotional, I don't want to have a breakdown or outburst in a place like a court room. What do you think?
Avatar m tn Just got my week 22 results in from my PCP (mys tudy will not give any info out till after week 24).

1348086 tn?1370783185 I have been sick with sinuses and had to endure a 2 hour family reunion yesterday, and up until 20 minutes ago I was really worried about going to jury duty this afternoon, however, my boss gave me an excuse and they took it.

Avatar f tn The adderall has been wonderful it really helped a lot the risperdal i am not so sure as he still gets very angry and aggressive he has also been recently diagnosed with social anxiety disorder.
Avatar f tn I'm a bit frustrated. I don't have an MS dx, but all of my symptoms scream MS, and I don't know about those non-specific white matter lesions on my brain. Nobody seems to think they are anything, so my MRIs are "normal". Anyway, since the heat has made it's appearance I am barely functional for a good part of the day. The fatigue has been horrible, and the weakness - ugh!
Avatar f tn So I've just recently become open with my social anxiety. I remember being in middle school and thinking that something was horribly wrong with me. I would get so nervouse around people. My body would tremble, my voice would shake and I couldn't think clearly. I've become more comfortable with being uncomfortable, and yes I do notice that there are plenty of people that are shy, but I really hate the fact that my real personality can't show when I'm around people.
Avatar f tn Anyone else get social anxiety in big groups? I have always been an anxious person in general but i have always Been able to manage it and show up to group events. I have noticed now though the farther along i get the more anxious i get and the more i get the overwhelming urge to bolt from events. Its getting bad too. Any one else or any ideas?
494087 tn?1257793207 I was diagnosed with social anxiety and panic disorder a year ago. I take remeron and klonopin but the doctor says only to take them at night. I think I need some medication to get through the day but I am afraid to tell him I am having trouble getting through the day. I always have a butterfly feeling in my stomach and when I have to go in public I get very nervous and feel like everyone is looking at me. I guess my question is does anyone else feel this way and what should I do?
Avatar f tn Yes, it does sound like social anxiety. Have you thought about getting in to counseling to help with this?
5148952 tn?1364321766 You are correct that the Abilfy will not help with your social anxiety. And while I do not mean to imply that your social worker has not helped you, very few, if any, social workers are trained psychologists who can help you with this problem. It may be worth considering professional therapy to beat this phobia once and for all.
Avatar f tn I have a presentation coming up next week, so I decided to go and seek medical help today. I went to my doctor and he diagnosed me with social anxiety. He said that the best treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy, but he prescribed me some medication to get me through this semester. He prescribed 10 mg propranolol (inderal) 3 times a day and an extra 10 mg inderal 1 hour before the presentation + 0.25 mg Xanax 1 hour before the presentation.
Avatar m tn I know, when you feel the anxiety, it leads to more anxiety because you are anxious they will notice your anxiety... Higher heart rate, blood pressure, chest pains, wish to immediately leave the place... And to me, it seems better to leave home at night or when it is colder or rainy, because there are less people out there, on the street... You are not alone!
