So maybe i should be thankful for all the trials.

Might as well get something good from them.

I relate to this VERY much.
Ahhhh, Toughing It Through, I know you all too well….Through the dark, troubles and trials. Keeping it together when it's not. Always keeping the cards close, never letting on how bad it is. Doing what has to be done regardless. Ugh. No lack of experience there. It is also possible that someone cracks not because something is new and unfamiliar, but from the wear and tear of the enduring. That's kind of where I'm at these days. After half a century, throw in some physical decline challenge and…. well, yeah, there are some cracks in the shell. Sigh.
We learn some stuff that gives a different perspective. And there's plenty of opportunity for practicing one's mask.
I think it depends too, on what the pressure is. And how someone is doing when it starts. Is it sudden? Does it build? How intense is it? Is it from people being in your face? Situations? Can you let it be and it will pass or is it unrelenting? Is it something that has taken you by surprise or is it something you can see coming? Is it time pressure? Expectations? Deadlines? Is it one thing, or are you getting dog-piled by it from every direction?
