This my first time writing a post on this particular thread of Psych Central. I usually post on the PTSD thread or some the social threads.
The reason I'm posting on this one is because my anxiety has gotten noticeably worse since I recieved a jury summons last Saturday. Fortunately I've gotten off it. My psychiatrist wrote a letter to the courts saying that it wouldn't be a a good idea for me to show up for it.
Anyway, ever since I got the summons I've been anxious.
I guess I've always been nervous and fearful. I know I can't hold a job because of it. Now I'm afraid of going anywhere just about. Oh, I will take my dog on walks with no problem and I can go to the store, but going out to appointments bothers me and anything new I find intimidating.
