I recently got an internship and a work-study job in San Francisco. Then they began to ask questions about my past mental health and whether I have been in a psychiatric hospital in the past. I hate lying, so I told the truth. Both the internship and the work-study job just got back to me and told me they've decided I'm no longer the best candidate. I know it's because I have Bipolar Disorder.
I'm thinking of lying about my illness in the future. I'll probably pretend I have no history of mental illness. Has anyone else done that? Were there any negative repercussions?
Thanks!
