    In addition, disclose only what and to whom you are comfortable. Know you are not obligated to go into detail unless you desire. Never feel ashamed for being a real person with flaws, because no one I mean no one is immune. Hugs and kisses. :)

    I NEVER feel the need to be careful about who I am dear. But thank you for the advice.

    Not sure if trolling, or serious.

    right... because this situation is so far fetched.... :grumble:

    1 in 4 people suffer from mental illness at some point in their lives. Many will need to take time off for it. If there wasn't so much stigma attached to mental illness, that would make it a lot easier, and threads like this wouldn't need to exist, because people wouldn't fear being stigmatised or losing their job because of it.

    If someone walked into a church bleeding would you turn them away because it is not a hospital. Seriously, help or don't but never put someone down as if they are not worthy of your time. It will take nothing away from you to offer a minute to read someones problem and let them know your thoughts on it. Everything ties into life, true? We are here to help one another. :)

    It is a privacy thing. It's up to how comfortable you are with people knowing your business. They don't have to know and you not telling them ISN'T lying.

    What I was going to say.

    Me too. If you are comfortable telling them then that's up to you. I was in the same situation a few years back. I was comfortable telling my boss as he is a sweetheart and my best friend is his assistant. I've worked in places where I never would have told ANYONE though...so its up to you. Not disclosing the reason...is NOT lying. Its no one else's business.

    If this poster is who I think it is, it may just be far fetched.

    To OP:
    Follow what everyone else said.

    If they judge or let you go because of it, you can sue them because they can't discriminate based on medical conditions.
