Is it a good idea to explain my situation in depth to my principal? I have morning cafeteria duty two days a week and I get very panicky when there is confrontation. It's all I can do to get through it. What do you think? Suck it up and deal with it or go ahead and out myself?
people with authority over you like employers are another. one boss i had found out i have bp and went on to assume that anything that upset me (coworkers inappropriate behaviors for example) was to be over-looked, simply because he thought the bp made me over-react to everything no matter what the circumstances. his lack of understanding of bp made that job very unpleasant.
