I said recovering from illness to explain the 7 year depression gap in my CV and they were just like ok u healthy now? cool. and moved on. It's that easy

[fluffyblue-multifandommess]

OP I’m so glad it went that well for you!

But it’s not always that easy. Sometimes you’re not completely recovered, just recovered enough that you can start working / going to school (uni, vocational, trade, etc) again (full time, even!). So you say, “I’m feeling good, and I’m being treated by a great team so I won’t relapse”. You’re vague on purpose because it’s none of their business what exactly is going on. They still ask if it’s mental or physical health issue. You tell them because you don’t know if you’re obligated to answer and you worry that not wanting to answer is an answer of itself. They make a note and you don’t know if this will be a factor when they consider whether or not to take you. You think it probably will. You know you’ll never know if this was The Thing that got you the “no”. You know you’d never be able to prove to anyone that it was.

It isn’t easy. I wish it were.

Bro I'm not recovered. Legally they cant ask about your illness and you dont have to tell them.

[messiestobjects]

op's initial point is meant exactly for the people who are having the issues the second person said. you do not say anything about "so that i don't relapse," ever, for any reason. you say simply "i was recovering from a health issue/illness/injury" and you leave it at that. you do not talk at all about what kind of illness, you do not say anything about where you are in the process, you do not get specific at all, you say that you spent that time recovering from an illness.

if they try to weasel answers out of you by asking whether you're able to perform the job duties, you drag it back round to interviewspeak - "absolutely, i am so excited to be here and apply for this opportunity. [literally job duty from the description] is one of my passions/talents/areas of expertise, and i think this would be a great place for me to learn even more."

if they really press, you just say, "i'm sorry, that's a bit personal, but i'm really glad i'm able to work now, and i'm excited to see how i can provide/sharpen/hone xyz talent at this company" or whatever." you stay as nonspecific as you can, and you do not fall for any friendly questions, EVEN IF THEY USE WOKE SPEAK and make you think they're Not Like Other Employers.

dislike when ppl say to children things like "wait until you live in the real world" or "welcome to the real world" when something makes them unhappy or bad things happen to them. children are people. they live in the same world you do, and their experiences and reactions to their experiences are just as real as your own. comfort them instead of dismissing them

[roboco-san]

anyway children are real people and should be treated as such

arundhati roy is an Indian leftist activist and author, and this is a criticism of Gandhi and Gandhian politics. this context is important. she's lived through the failure of gandhi-esque politics.
