I am dreading tomorrow, so much I feel sick and its really making my anxiety worse.
I'm going to court for not paying for a TV license in the last year, ive been so down with my anxiety my partner sorts out the bills, and even tho the TV license is in my name he said he'll sort out paying it, were both un employed and finding things hard atm, he kept putting the letters to the back of the draw saying il sort it but he never did now I have to go to court. we need to pay up £425 in fines I explained on the phone that I cant pay it all at once, and can we take some money from our benefits but because my partner signs on in his name they cant do that, I have No income myself the benefits is for me my partner and my daughter.
I'm scared of going to court...I have social anxiety and hate speaking out loud i get my words muddled i am not a very strong person so I wont be able to stick up for myself, as well as the anxiety making me feel sick il be a mess at the court.
Is the court like i see on tv the same for these kind of cases? will it be a large room with a judge at a desk? wil i have to stand in a box and explain myself? Im so scared :( this is setting my anxiety right back...everything I have learnt to control it has gone out of the window because of this!!
Please help x
