Lie, lie, lie. Whenever I have told jobs about my bipolar, I have either lost the job or not gotten the job. When I lie and deny any and all psychiatric problems/diagnoses, I have no problem getting a job. There is no reason why they need to know about your mental health. They just ask so that they can weed us out and not have to deal with us. Their is so much prejudice and discrimination out there. Besides, if you tell too many companies in your field, the word may get around that you have mental issues and future possible employers may find out without you even telling them. Please be careful who you tell and good luck!

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
