I wrote my college essay about how I overcame my OCD now I am afraid that it was a bad idea.

I submitted all my applications last week, and I was so excited, but today something dawned on me. Was writing about my struggle with mental illness a bad idea? I looked it up and I was overwhelmed by how many people thought that this was such a bad idea. My application stated i did not need any accommodations for it, and I said nothing about it negatively impacting my grades, just how I grew from it and even some positives that came from it. I don’t know guys, was this a huge mistake?

this is an accidental comment, I don’t know how this website works yet haha

Since you say that it shows that you overcame it I suspect it will be positively received.

I am guessing that this thread reflects that very issue. So put it behind you and stop thinking about it!

You’ve already hit submit.

So take some deep breaths and hang in there.
