>I wasn't asked. But it came up previously when I was denied even the interview at first. I had a volunteer position of diets for a couple of years 2008-2010 as church librarian. But I managed to change the picture as to why I left over tr choose if the time off. I originally left because I the stress was causing me to get worse. But I was also the primary caretaker at the time for both my parents-father had a stroke and mother diagnosed with Alzheimers disease and duster style half their life savings and spent it on herself. So the story was that I left to take care of my .parents. Eventually the stress did result in a"nervous breakdown" where it came down to suicide our hospitalization. I had been planning my suicide but called my poetic instead and went to the hospital and then had ECTx 5 treatments. But they didn't know all that. I just left to"take care if my parents." I didn't apply for stability immediately when I left work-Pi didn't expect to get so suck. I finally adopted about 3 years later.
As for your situation, can you think if any plausible other reason for having been gone? If not, telling the truth might not hurt you especially if there were some precipitating event that now is over and you are ok .again.
And remember, ss disability will keep paying you for the first 9 months after you return to work-to give you time to see if you Ares going to be able to handle it. I don't know choir sure that I can. I've only been better a week or so. But the job was now or never so I had to gather my resources and do my best. I hope I'll gave a couple if weeks before actually starting to try and get stronger and more stable.

P.s. No question is too personal for me.>
