I hope you all dont mind me asking this here it is the only place i feel okay asking. the only place iI feel confortable asking. the only place most people know me soo here goes...

Wish for honest advice. Please don’t be nice cus ya know me and stuff but advice from employers point of view kind of. Or maybe what would you do if you were me.
Here is the thing. I haven’t been putting down on my applications that I have a neuro stimulator implanted and that I have trigeminal neuralgia..,anesthesia dolorosa. I haven’t been putting down that I was in serious auto accident etc… so I have a rather big gap in my work history from 1999 till like start 2004. Heck I haven’t had a full time job for a while mostly did odd job here and there baby sitting and yard work part time but then worked full time at hotel for over a year and then did the condo cleaning thing. So those are good strong references. I am afraid to share that part of my history .I don’t want to be looked at like a
Possible liability” issue” to any employers. They will probly look at my history and say "hummm she was in accident was on heavy drugs morphine methadone neurotin was suicidal been to counseling was in court went to trial by jury…and what is trigeminal neuralgia and anesthesia dolorosa?? " What if they look it up and see that it is called the suicide illness. So really I am afraid to share all of my history and honestly kind of embarrassed/ashamed of my t.n. and a.d.
So what would you be doing if you were me???? What do you think employers think or will think when I am asked about my gap in my history.. I will have to share some of it so I wonder what will they think? What would you think?? How should I go about this? What should I share? What do you think is the best way to handle this? Do you think it will hurt my chances of being hired? Mmmkay I have a zillion worries but this is enough for now it gives a well enough view of my concerns I think. Sorry this is long but it’s the only way I could explain what is bothering me. I am not handi- capped or disabled, I just need a job. I am not applying for anything major just hotel housekeeping and restaurants and food stores not anything to special…. just a job. Thanks for any and all advice ahead of time in advanced. I really need it!!!!!!
PEACE
