I too think that Janet fella is an ignorant and obnoxious character. But I agree that self pity is the biggest hurdle for most mental health patients. I'm bipolar, and have been to hell and back. But eventually I realised that fighting myself was useless, I'd never win that battle. Now I wear my "disease" with pride, am completely open about it, and have encountered little if any stigma. That comes from people who don't know the diagnosis, and think I'm just an unpredictable idiot. Guess what? I too think that Janet fella is an ignorant and obnoxious character.

Another issue I thought of right away how the hell can this help someone with an obvious physical disability, including attending an interview in a wheelchair, blind, one arm etc, not something the prospective employer will need to be told of! At least it does go some way to help us get our foot in the door the opportunity shine in an interview, and more regarding your specific issue will be better for the youngsters coming through without blank areas in their cv, hopefully they will have no need to have that issue going forward in the future, I do hope this is proved to be true for them following us!!! Yours truly TBPBMD Hi Jamey
