Re: MI Terrified that an employer will find out
Even if they see it, you have a right to not share information about your private life. If it will not be affecting your job performance, then they don't need to know about it. Criminal history is different. If they say anything about it, speak with confidence and just let them know, that you didn't consider it an issue. What's the bet that most of them have issues, the only difference is, they either live with it and compensate with alcohol, drugs or other issues, or they are seeing therapists themselves but hiding it. It's going to be okay. And if you don't get this one, you'll get your next fav job, either way, you're not going to be working in some pitiful job you hate earning crap money or on some pension. Be kind to yourself.

Congratulations of being granted your dream job @Lilyq!!
I understand it is hard to sit with the uncertainty of not knowing whether they will find out. It's strange that they would ask about your mental health history if it wasn't pertinant to the job.
