Hi RJam and welcome.
I'm sorry you are going through this. This past week we found out about a TBI support group nearby and I think I'm going to check it out. It's very hard to find people who understand. You might want to look into that possibility.
I agree with pp that you should see a vocational counselor at the school to get some recommendations. At the very least perhaps you could combine the classes you have with a few more elsewhere to a lesser but specialized certification even if it's not the field you planned. A good career counselor should be able to talk with you about big medical issues.
Life is long and there are blessings in it. Hard to find sometimes.
Hang in there
Julie

About me: Married 45yo mother of two girls. In July 2014, I hit my head on the side of the pool; since then I've had 3 lesser concussions, one of which was due to MVA.
For the 5-10 years prior to that I’ve had what I now realize were possibly 20+ undiagnosed concussions or sub-concussions. Likely most of these result from Duane's Syndrome, for which I now have prism glasses. Have successfully done vestibular therapy and plan to start vision therapy.
Current companions: Significant depression, anxiety, hyperacusis, difficulty with verbal expression (recall & word mixups), mild spacial/vestibular issues. Feelings of disconnect in relationships.
