I was manic for 9 months at school and completely embarrassed myself by being a complete spastic. I will never see any of them again but I can't get over it, I feel the need to explain myself to them since they all looked down on me and thought I was on cocaine. It's hard to let go, so I don't mean to downplay how hard it can be. But one isolated incident won't jeopardize someone's perception of you, everyone has a breaking point

Thank you.
I had a past job where I had a breakdown in 2012 where I became paranoid and delusional, and it was really embarrassing, but I ended up quitting. It was a good move to quit though, because I was very unhealthy mentally, and it was an awful place.
Luckily, I am not experiencing any psychosis recently, and this is a more positive work environment than the other one, although they both have their downsides. I don't want it to get to the point that I was at in 2012. Also, a few years later, I had an old boss witness me burst out in tears, but luckily, that was forgotten. This is the longest that I've gone without having any kind of public breakdown in front of co-workers, so I was feeling kind of defeated, like I couldn't hold myself together. At least I didn't quit on the basis of embarrassment though. I talked to my pdoc and felt a little better.
