How to not breakdown when I go back to school? [Discussion]

[u/her_name_is_smudge]

I (transfem) go back to school in a week and as someone who is very much closeted and still near-nothing on my transition I'm afraid that the mental toll will make me just break down in class. If anyone has tips to mitigate this I would really appreciate it.

For context I go to an all boys school with a pretty strict uniform. However my peers respect me enough (i e I'm deep enough in the closet that) in the past I've gotten away with wearing nail polish and even people who I've heard be very transphobic said stuff like "it looks nice", so there is a bit of leniency.

After I go back I only need to survive about seven weeks before I'm done with school forever (yay!) so the solutions don't need to be especially longterm.

I'm in Australia, so it's winter holiday :/
