So I just had an over the phone conversation with an employer.

It was a small part time cleaning job (something to get me back into work after some time off due to anxiety)

My key worker encouraged me to be honest about my anxiety so for the first time ever when asked what I’ve been up to for the past year I opened up a little about having a bit of anxiety and now hoping to get back into work.

He jumped straight questioning my reliability and honestly his overall reaction wasn’t nice at all. I get employees have a job to do and need to find reliable staff but ANYONE can be unreliable!

P.s I did make a point to say I’ve never missed a day of work due to my anxiety.

What are your thoughts? How have to coped telling employers about your anxiety? What have been the results of doing so?
