Hi Daniellesparkles. It might be a good idea to do a bit of research on what is expected of you as a juror. In addition, you might want to check out what the trial is about, just to have an idea of what you would be hearing and seeing. Some trials are less intense than others. My daughter declined jury duty due to the nature of the trial, and the fact that at the time, she had an anxiety disorder and the trial would likely have led to an escalation of her anxiety disorder. There is nothing to be ashamed of regarding having an anxiety disorder. It is the most common mental health concern in Canada (where I live) and very common throughout the world. One in four people will experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime, according to the experts. I accept the fact that I have an anxiety disorder - although I certainly don't like it, and am doing what it takes to recover from it. Recovery from anxiety disorders is definitely attainable. I don't mean to in any way suggest that you not listen to your Mom, but being a Mom myself, and having a daughter with an anxiety disorder who was called for jury duty, I can relate to this situation. By the way, my daughter has recovered from her anxiety disorder and is currently finishing her thesis for a Master's Degree. She travels, socialises, participates in sports and generally lives life to the full. Anxiety disorders don't have to be a life-long condition.
