Excuse me Bagpuss, but I did not make any assumption. Karen has Clinical Depression and I am sensitive to your situation, but I used an example of a guy I knew who had a problem.....and it wasn't depression.....and handled it well in the interview. He avoided the pitfalls of creating a lie and turned a negative to his benefit.

I apologize if you found it to be as if I were making some statement about depression or any thought that you had failed because of it. Your question was what to do, convincing lie or truth. I gave you my advice which is truth and the story of Gerald is a dramatic example to me of how truth can work.
