I need some advice. I recently resigned from my job three months ago and made the conscious decision to take a break before finding a new role due to terrible anxiety and depression. I got help, and I’m in a better place. I have a few interviews next week, and I’m applying for more opportunities. Should I share that I have been medically diagnosed with anxiety & depression?

I commend you for taking the time you needed off work. I don't know that I would disclose it unless you need an accomodation for it. In that case I would share it.

First, congratulations on getting the help you needed and coming back stronger. I've been in a similar situation. I had to take off a few months due to treatment for an eating disorder. What worked best for me, was not disclosing too many details. I let them know I took time off to take care of my health, but that was all. Then, if I needed reasonable accommodations, I filled out the appropriate forms with HR to ensure there was no chance of retaliation. In a perfect world, I'd say, just tell them - but if I'm being honest, not everyone will understand this kind of stuff, which can put you in a tough spot once you disclose the information.

I'm searching for places that can handle my weight. I even cried full on which has not been happening since I started taking medication for depression. Is this anxiety? Or my brain is just ready let go finally.
