I got a letter in the mail yesterday saying I need to report to jury duty. This has completely ruined any progress I made for myself to control my anxiety that ive spent months working myself up to. This past year ive become terrified of leaving my house, I cant see myself even having the courage to walk into the building much less drive an hour there! I am terrified to go to the city and to park in an unfamiliar place and tend to panic in any situation outside of my normal. I also accepted a job yesterday which was extremely anxiety inducing for me in the weeks leading up to it. I have done nothing but cry and lay in bed frozen with fear in anticipation of jury duty which isn't in about 1 month. It hasn't been even 24 hours since Ive opened my letter and im in shambles, I dont even know what To do anymore, everything I google says there's no way to get out of it. I messaged my doctor but Im not sure if I will be able to get a note in time if I cant get an appointment !

I know my fears are irrational, everyone keeps telling me this. My main worry lies in how unfamiliar this is to me, how out of my control it is, how I didn't get to choose to go I am forced to go against my will. I have in the past struggled with an eating disorder and fear that this brining the feeling of being out of control I will relapse and hurt myself more. I am deathly afraid to speak of my experiences in front of people, I dont understand why I cant just say no? With this already taking a great toll on my mental health im worried of the week or two leading up to the date what I might do or feel...

 I wish I could take a moment to think rationally about this but I really cant, I feel so trapped like there's no way out or around it. I was very happy and excited to begin my new job next week but now I have to notify them of this day and I feel panic washing over me about the discussion Ill have to have about that as well. Is there ANYTHING I can do to get out of going to even the selection process? Theres no way I would be a good fit for any trial and am worried or having a panic attack in the court room over the process I have no control or say in. 

In short: I am terrified to go to jury duty and I know that I will be unable to do anything for the next month but be filled with anxiety and cower in my room away from everyone. I need advice on what I can possibly do to get out of it besides a doctors note.
