Help Am meeting a psychiatrist tomorrow with specific aims

[voidlover777]

I am meeting with a new psychiatrist tomorrow and need some tips in how to to appear (a few months) sober and not suicidal but having been so in the past. I need to use this psychiatrist to keep getting the meds i need from an addiction specialist who, after learning about what she thinks is my last suicide attempt over a month ago, refused to prescribe meds due to the risk except a short script to keep me sane enough to go to a walk in clinic and get a psychiatrist who can take the blame if i ctb. Any and all advice is helpful.

i don't have any tips for how to appear sober, but most psychiatrists in my experience use the columbia suicide scale. if you don't want to outright lie about being suicidal, you can specify that you only have "passive" suicidal ideation and deny having suicidal intent and deny having a plan. i wish you luck!
