Is It Too Personal To Write About My Eating Disorder For My College Admission Essay?

Just make sure it is relevant. Don’t write it to garner pity. Write it to say, for example, how you want to be a psychiatrist/psychologist. Write it to say that you can overcome some damn big hurdles. Just don’t get too graphic, keep it positive, and make sure you spin it the right way.
Good luck!
1. i’ll read it for you to see if there are any grammar mistakes you missed.
2. i did the same thing. but instead of saying it is me with the ed, i said it was my friend. I don’t want the admissions people to think i’m not mentally well enough to go to school
No, I don’t think so.. I would only write about it if you could include how you overcame it and how it has made you a stronger person today.
If you don’t include the latter comprehensively, I’d avoid writing about it.
well, it depends..
like i wouldn’t write like OH I HAVE ANOREXIA
I WANT TO STARVE MYSELF BECAUSE I THINK IM FAT
or anything like that…
but if it had some life effect or anything,
then i guess…
i get sick of hearing about girls and weight who just want attention
