Title, basically.
I scheduled an appointment with my doctor to see about getting anti-anxiety medication to help with nighttime anxiety attacks and some nausea. However, they have sent several forms asking me to answer questions about suicidal habits, such as self-harm or thoughts of suicide. They're laughably simple and really feel routine, but I can't help but feel I've set off a bunch of red flags (For obvious reasons). Is this a normal process to go through when requesting these meds?
My primary concern is if they ask me for a physical. I still have small scars on my lower back from when I regularly SH'ed. I don't anymore, for this eventuality, but they're still minimally present. I have a story prepared, and evidence to back up my lie, but I would like to stay relaxed and easy-going in the meeting. I'm not getting the meds for recovery purposes, which is why I'm not posting this in recovery. This is for SN, down the road, in case I need them. I'd like to keep things quick and simple, but if I need to genuinely go through so much red tape for simple medication, I'll just cancel the meeting and find another route.
Has anyone else experienced this? what can I expect? I've never been prescribed anxiety meds before.
