Is there anyway to see a counselor now at your post?

It may help to speak to someone who is living in the same environment who can better help you to adapt in someway. I recommend a counselor because of confidentiality. While you are in the environment that is creating the stimulus for your panics it's hard to determine any or if longterm impacts are to be considered. I would think maybe returning home would settle things down without the stimulus of the environmental noise. I am not a professional - you need to seek someone out who can evaluate you, your situation, and answer your valid concerns.

In my opinion, I see no problem with you continuing to post here and read to get more information/education on this forum.
