I haven’t officially been diagnosed with it but I’m pretty sure I have it. Every month a week leading up to my period and then 5 days while I’m on, I feel close to having a breakdown. I have awful intrusive thoughts which cause severe anxiety to the point I feel like I’m losing the plot. I have suicidal thoughts. A couple of days after my period stops I feel ok but I feel it takes over my life.

I am on the copper coil and I only started to feel like this when I had I started on it. I am on 150mg of sertraline as I’ve always suffered with anxiety which helps but only when I am not due on/on period.

I’m thinking of phoning the GP as I’m due on next week and can feel myself slipping. Is there anything they can do or prescribe to help me?

Have the coil removed if it started straight after you got it, surely that would be common sense

@ThatUniqueKoala Well yes obviously but I was interested in seeing if there was anything else that could help before having it removed
