Common Questions and Answers about Anxiety attacks jury duty

anxiety

1348086 tn?1370783185 Sounds like a strange question in anxiety forums, however, if I feel trapped (ie, meetings, riding in a car, church, etc) I have major anxiety and panic attacks. If I have to be on a jury, I will go nuts. So with all seriousness, how does one get out of 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.
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 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...

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 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?

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 With my second child, I was supposed to work up until my dd cuz I was only given a personal leave of 30 days and I had a c section and I remember I worked on Sat and was supposed to go back mon, thurs, fri, sat and that monday was my due date, however my baby girl came a week early on the Monday I was supposed to work. I called them and let them know I wasn't coming in lol. Also, I had jury duty and I had to cancel and the lady was like...its a little late,,, and im like uh...
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 The excuse for the delay was that the doctors appointment setter and intake person was on Jury duty and no one checked her messages? Sounds like a lame excuse. I do hope all this will be worth my wait! Again thank you!

Avatar n tn Hi, I have been experiencing severe muscle twitching in my entire body for over two months now (this also happened a few other times in the past 8 years) and also an electric feeling like I've been plugged into a light switch. It is worse at night and when I'm trying to sleep or rest.
Avatar f tn I can understand your faith in your neurologist but would like to emphasise that depression, anxiety and panic attacks need to be understood and differentiated from each other to be correctly treated. A neurologist deals with the organic lesions of brain, nerves, spinal cord. A psychiatrist is involved in the disorders of brain involving interplay of neurotransmitters and chemicals causing functional disorders.
