I'm also female, and living in the UK, so I don't know if this will apply. I spoke to a recruitment officer online and he said because I'd self-harmed more than once I was not eligible, and I don't see a way around it. I feel like shit - it's all I wanted to do - so if this happens to you just know you're not alone. I'm so annoyed at myself. If I hadn't've done it I'd be signing up right now. I hope it's different for you, but for me it looks like I need to find a different job, maybe in the police, but it's not the same :'[
