I am almost exactly the same as you. Working full-time and going to school (I did take the summer off though). This upcoming semester will be interesting to see how things go given my diagnoses. I had already finished my last semester before the diagnoses were finalized by my pdoc. I'm going to talk to him about possibly getting special accommodations at school in hopes that it will help to improve my GPA.

When it comes to work, I'm very good at hiding my emotions. Heck, I'm good at hiding them no matter what, but half of the time I feel like I'm dying inside. I've told a select few at work and they have been very supportive of me. I haven't told any of the people that are considered my immediate co-workers, nor have I told my boss.
