Quick question that may have already been answered.
so I've applied, interviewed, etc. Now I have the medical clearance. I have no real (though this does not stop my brain from imagining some hidden disease) reasons to think I will not be medically cleared. The only problem is a little over 10 years ago I had what I would now diagnose myself (I'm a social worker) with as depressive disorder NOS, single episode. In other words, for about a month I was depressed and cut myself (not a suicide attempt, I would have been labeled a cutter). Well I never officially received any treatment. I saw a psych grad student one time after calling the 24 hour help line. Since then everything has been fine, I have good coping strategies, yada yada yada. My question is, since I was honest with this on my app, will this affect my acceptance? I never received treatment, but have not had any other occurrences of these type of feelings. Is this just my over active, pessimistic side coming out? My boss jokes that my motto is : prepare for the worst, imagine complete disaster and hope for the best. Anyone have any experience? I'm open about my experience and don't have any qualms discussing it, mainly because it has made me mentally stronger. um, so am I just freaking myself out for no reason?
