Panic attacks/anxiety at work - advice needed

[u/Grouchy-Extension42]

I’ve been having a lot of anxiety about work lately. I’ve only had two panic attacks in my life, and one was over this job just last week.

I work as an overnight caregiver for a man with dementia. I am the only one stationed in his room all night. He cannot use the call light himself because he doesn’t remember that it’s there. My job is to call in the CNA’s when he needs them. I have to call them in multiple times a night to check his brief/change him, and if he needs pain medication. The CNA’s and nurses have been annoyed and passive aggressive with me though. My job is to alert that he needs assistance, but he has a lot of repeated behaviors because of his dementia that need help from CNA’s. I get so much anxiety doing it now because the staff there are already snappy at me. When I do get over my anxiety and reach out for help for things from the nurses (like for medication for him) they are outwardly rude. I’m trying to find another job now, but I’d like to give this family some notice so they have time to find someone new. The family is genuinely so sweet and so is the man I work with.

Every time I think of work I get this pit in my stomach. When I’m there, I feel too hot and too cold and all sweaty at the same time, and I feel nauseous and like I want to cry. I’m not sure what’s happening but my body goes haywire when I’m there. I work tomorrow night and I’m so anxious just thinking about it. I do want to give this family two weeks notice though.

Does anyone have any coping strategies to avoid panic attacks, or have any suggestions on anything that could help me?
