Hello. I have been having little panic attacks ever since I received my jury duty summons (first time in my life). I am afraid of anything new. Driving to new places and meeting new people takes days and even weeks of planning ahead, such as scenarios, what to say, etc. I know this is frowned upon, but I really don't want to go to the courthouse. It is a nightmare scenario for me especially with how naturally intimidating it is. Has anyone gotten out of jury duty because of anxiety reasons? I was hospitalized in a psych ward a couple of years ago. If I mail that paperwork to them, will they let me off? Thank you.
