And Rose if you do decide to tell the hiring person for that potential job, you are going to have to put yourself in her chair and how you would look at that information.

I am not saying to not be honest but when you talk about being honest and putting your cards on that table, you cannot forget the positive of your condition. In other words, you can present your struggles "BUT" you can also add that your struggles have given you more ability to access situations realistically and can suggest better ways of dealing with situations. ]

I totally agree and I'm sure you know when it feels comfortable enough to share.

[Always remember each person struggles in their own way and often we are truely judged on how we rise above and have used our own personal experiences as a better way of connecting to others, can be a real positive in the providing for care in others in the health care field. ]

I found in my journey through depression that it heightened my empathy for others. I read someone's quote that everyone has their own battles and to be kind. It stuck with me. Your advice to me in the past showed such kindness and compassion. Thank you.
