Hi so I'm 16 truing 16.5 in August I'm planning on applying to the navy in a medic or a communications role or MWO. But in the past I've dealt with non suicidal self harm, I am getting psychological treatment for it for the second time because the first time around the person I was seeing wasn't a good fit for me but this time my current psychologist is a good fit for me and I've improved a lot I haven't had any thoughts of self harming since august-late September of last year. I've always wanted to join the navy ever since I was a little kid, my grate-grandfather was a captain in the navy around the time adfa was first established and he helped establish it or something along those lines (the story changes with each relative I talk to). But I want to be able to follow in his footsteps and accomplish good while serving my country. When I apply I am going to be 100% honest about my issues with self harm because they will find out especially when I have my medical examination but I really don't know anymore if I should apply now or not because it probably wont be worth it and it'd just be a waist of my time especially being in VCE where time is off the essence.
Is there anything I can do to make it more likely for me to get in? Should I bother applying? What should I do?
