What do you tell people? If I am interviewed for a job what would/should and how do I explain my problems to them? I am still on meds (Lyrica, Cymbalta, Mobic plus asthma and allergy meds) and am forgetful and will forget words mid sentence or the right word. I really want life back but what do I do? I am on unemployment, have an A.A.S in early childhood education but don't see how I'll make the money I made before.

I am working PT and I just tell them the truth. I don't go into a lot of detail. I answer ?'sw/limited info. but I don't lie. Again, it all demends on what kind of job FT or PT. if it's full time then you have to worry about if they are going to cover you for health insurance, they may think you will be a liability. It's hard to judge. In education I know the rules are stricter. Maybe ask a fellow worker you can trust in the same industry and see what they think.
