Dreadful contraception withdrawal symptoms, feeling really awful

Did anyone have a hard time when they stopped depo provera injections. I was fine on them but stopped at the end of August and it's been an utter nightmare since.

I have been all over the place with a lot of really horrible symptoms.

My first period since stopping the injections was really, really heavy. I bled through a super tampon in 2 hours. I then had another period just 3 weeks later so my cycle is all out of sorts.

I had terrible bloating and on some days looked absolutely massive and felt really uncomfortable.

My hormones and mood are really all over the place. I went for a run today to try to cheer myself up and out of nowhere I just suddenly felt bombarded with really deep sadness and anxiety. Just broke down on the pavement and sobbed and sobbed for ages before picking myself up and walking home.

More that I won't go on about, dizzy spells, exhaustion. I cried 4 times today.

Did anyone experience similar? If so when did things ease off?

I've been getting zero support this whole time so to top it off I am also extremely isolated by this whole thing and feel really lonely.

I just want to feel better again. Thanks for reading. Any advice welcome.

Bump. I lost 5 pounds in 5 days recently and my BMI was already low and other people are starting to comment on it. I'm really, really not coping.
