I had head trauma 2 weeks away from graduating a CNA class with the intention of nursing down the road. I definitely cannot do the nursing home work I was intending to do (I'm getting married next year and I wanted to have a good career to contribute) and probably not for at least anotehr 2 years maybe. And I get panic attacks too, for 2 years now, but it's PTSD from an allergic reaction to a sting from my dad's bees. He had to get rid of them which are his passion so I deal with the guilt of that too. I know panic attacks combined with this head trauma is an EXHAUSTING combination and I just want to give you big *HUGS* because I so understand the feeling that your whole life has been undermined. I'm in counseling now for the panic and emotional trauma of this long healing process and I've uncovered a lot of other things I should have dealt with years ago too. So I'd try that. One thing I've learned from the better doctors I've been around is that no one who experiences panic attacks should have to deal with them without counsel. Don't do what I did and wait. Also I don't know if I'll ever work in a nursing home now but I think I could handle homemaker or home health aide so I'm trying to look into that, to stay focused on what I think I CAN do.
