I dont know if I have just been lucky or if its the way I look when I say it but so far I have only had positive feedback.

I am very open about my illness and if they ask if I work I say no I am ill I suffer from severe depression plus a few other things, they seem quite happy with that and are willing to talk about it most even point out that they or a member of their family also suffers !

So far so good, fingers crossed and all that.....
