Suga I have dealt with these exact issues for the 22 years I have been working. I have been fired from numerous jobs because I cannot handle the stress and then explode and scream and shout. I was with my previous company for going on 5 years and I did not disclose my diagnosis. However in a meeting one day there was this guy that was such an idiot he used to make me so angry I wanted to kill. Anyhow I threw an orange at him (don't laugh thank goodness that is all that was in reach) and swore at him. I was then asked to "see someone" and I told my boss I was BP. From that day on they made my life a living hell and you know I left there at the beginning of last year. Please do not disclose your condition as I have been through the being discriminated against part and it is not nice.

I now have a half day job that is not stressful at all and I have not lost my temper once here or had a day I felt I could not cope and my advice to anyone who is going through what you are is to take a step back, reassess what you want out of life and perhaps choose a different career path. I know you want more out of life and want to earn a good salary BUT is it worth what you are going through now? Just my 2 cents.
