Hi Jake,
My daughter has cerebral palsy on right side. For several years she was able to walk with a gait. Once she started having seizures she stopped walking, I was able to get her in a wheelchair and get her to appointments, now, she has severe anxiety and gets several panic attacks a day, Any loud noise will make her cry. I am unable to move her as she has gained weight . As I mentioned she is afraid to move for fear of seizure - she shakes and her muscles tense up, has bitten her tongue. I have tirelessly tried to find a psychiatrist/psychologist to work with her online to no avail. She is very intelligent - all she has ever wanted in life is to live on a farm - she loves animals. I am 75 and still working, doing my best to care for her. My nerves are worn down but I'm all she has. Her biggest fear is I will put her in managed care somewhere which I have tried to avoid as I know she would not survive as she is very set in her ways.
