advice?

hi all, i applied to alternaleaf about a month ago now, ive had my first appointment and second however there was miscommunication about my SCR, i originally sent screenshots from my NHS app and the women said that was fine and the second doctor didn’t mention needing anything more, so i asked if there was an alternative to SCR as my GP is super slow, they sent me a link to allow them to view some of the stuff on my NHS app.

But i’m now super stressed as i have previous substance abuse on my record, to clarify i have never had any addiction issues i went through a phase when i was 16 where i tried a lot of different drugs, has anyone with this on their record been approved or denied?

Really worried that i now won’t be approved because of this, i also have 2 serious suicide attempts on record (i have heard people not be approved because of this) and also in Nov 2025 i was in hospital due to Anorexia and i was a very low weight to the point my brain was not functioning well and i was confused and paranoid, there is one document referring to this paranoia so i now have 3 potential things (none of which affect me now) that may stop me getting approved.

If anyone has any experience with how they’d go about this please let me know :(
