However understanding that, if you know your condition very well, you can slowly make in a return in your general well-being and nurture it back to good health. Eventually you can manage your chronic illness and hold a job at the same time. One's condition is confidential and there is no need to disclose your health problems. However, as long as you know you are capable in performing your job and you have a good relationship with your superior, you may then disclose your condition if that would bring comfort to you. Not a good idea to disclose chronic conditions up-front in an interview unless you know it will disrupt your work, which then makes it fair for your employer to know.

I can just feel the strength behind your words.

Today, I am healthier and more energetic than many of my friends that are my age and younger. I would never tell any employer that I had a reason for them not to hire me. I know that my chronic illness is a stupid reason to turn down a great employee, but they don't. I would simply protect them from themselves. :) Having a chronic illness has made me very accountable to myself.
