I have no idea how I've held down my job. I've always had a job, since I was 17. I've only been let go once. I've taken many medical leaves. In fact I just returned to work yesterday after a three month absence. I guess I just compartmentalize. I'm able to shut off my suffering when I'm at work. At least I'm able to make it until break time and then I break down. and then I pull it together again when break is over. I'm just used to hiding my pain, been doing it for my whole life.
Sorry, I'm sure that's not helpful.
