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.

That sounds very much like what I do, too. I am able to hold down a job. I do manage to keep myself in check most of the time at work. Luckily, working in education, I get breaks where I can have my melt-downs. I have trained my body to wait to implode until break. I never, ever work summer school either. Summer is usually somewhere between flying high and highly irritated.
