My parents don't know about my depression or ptsd or anxiety and panic and I wont tell them, part of that is they are a big part of the cause.

I didn't tell my family because I was worried about my mothers reaction. She didn't take the news well when my sister told her she had depression and I didn't want to add to her worries. Once she died I came clean and told my dad and sister. I didn't hide it for my benefit, It was always about mumOriginally Posted by Angie
It's a good idea to look up the company's policy on these things before deciding whether to mention it. Local Authorities for example, have a great non-discrimination policy on this and it's actually advantageous to mention it at interview because if you subsequently need time off then they can't give you any grief about it. But not all companies are the same. I would decide on a case by case basis. But if I know somewhere would not want me for that reason, then I'm with Stella, why would I put myself into a hostile environment? The key thing is that whatever you decide, they do not have the right to ask, nor discriminate, but it is often a good idea to be honest without going into details, and always join the union, then you will have protection in the future whilst working.
My parents are a big part of the cause of my problems so I wont tell them, we barely have any relationship at all as it is, though some bridges have been crossed for the better, it will never be completely right between us

I used to tell mum bits n pieces but not a lot, I rarely spoke to dad about thing, he was less understanding about thes things. I pretty much keep things to myself now. I used to have a couple of friends I talked to but not my current friends.
By not telling we are not giving others the chance to be there for us. You never know, behind their brave face might be a similar issue.
I always do as it is a get-out-of-jail-free card and excuses any behaviour, however antisocial and ill-mannered. I blame everything I do on my mental disorders and people forgive me because of it. My view is that one should make hay while the sun shines and to use it before you lose it.
Nothing wrong with covering your bases
It does state on the licence form Serious mental illness, and I wouldn't say depression falls into the kind of impairments they are talking about
I'm very honest, but with depression it's more to do with medication and their effects, from the questions I've been asked
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
