I was diagnosed in 2019 and have been living with my parents and  not working efer since. I've been lucky to make it by on meager payments for mowing the lawn and not working an actual job during this time  However now I really need to apply for work as I have more bills now after another hospital stay and my meds going up.

So how do I address the gap in my employment history? Just say nothing unless asked about it? Be vague? I may have blown one promising job I applied for recently by disclosing my diagnosis in a cover letter, and haven't heard back since last Wednesday. Kind of bummed but worried about stigma causing people to turn me away.
