<human>: I'm in the middle of medical training.  I suffer from a history of depression and anxiety (no meds, no therapy) and am a type A personality to the extreme.

Right now we've got a minor reprieve for the holidays, but I begin again soon.  A few months into it I managed to get overwhelmed by all my work and had four really bad crying spells.  I mean like, full on ugly cry, hyperventilating, inconsolable, choking level crying.  It was pretty much an "I'm completely overwhelmed and can't escape this situation" triggered reaction.  I also did not feel supported by my immediate supervisor, which I'm sure contributed (I know, I need to grow a thicker skin).  I then switched medical settings (natural progression of the teaching, not forced) and had no issues in this new setting, but my embarrassment over the situation before is lingering.

I'll soon be in a new setting surrounded by people who know about and/or witnessed my previous spells (some of who act quite juvenile and may comment on it).  I am mortified and ruminating on the shame of being seen as weak and unprofessional and unstable.  If I had my way I'd simply drop all contact and never see them again, but obviously this is not feasible.  I have my to finish this to ever get to the career I want.

Any words of wisdom or techniques or solutions to quash some of these feelings?  They're eating at me quite badly the closer the new period gets.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I got emotional and acted completely unprofessional in front of people I wanted to look professional and well-composed in front of.  How do I get over this embarrassment and move forward?
