I've been on supervised probation for the last 6 years. I get off on June 8th (thank god!) Anyways, I did my time for a crime I didn't commit, but not without a ton of other things happening to me!

They wanted me to work, yeah. But I became so disabled that I couldn't leave my house at all, talk to other people, let alone hang out with any friends, and I basically just dropped off the face of the earth for awhile. I got anxiety and panic really bad, too. They said I had developed DID.

Please let your PO know what's going on with you. Be as up front and truthful as possible. Also you could try doing the new job if you are able. Don't blow it off. Even if it becomes too much for you, then your PO will know you at least tried. Yes, if you get tested for anything, let them know every medication you are on or have taken. That's very important.

Don't be too disappointed if your PO gives you a hard time. Mine was relentless. It was only until after a few months that mine realized I was being completely up front with her and wasn't feeding her a line of bull about everything.

Also, if you're seeing a counselor or are in any programs at all, make sure you get a release signed so your PO can speak to the counselor or head of the program so that they can vouch for the difficulties you are having. They'll also work together to help you out.

Hang in there.
