Depo injection has turned me into a nasty person

[babbz]

So I was first given the depo injection in may this year after a termination..... the first 12 weeks on the injection where great no periods I felt calm and chilled then BAMM my second injection in August basically has turned me into a fucking gremlin ..... I'm verbally abusive to my partner off 3 years and all he does is try his best but for some reason I'm used

Useing him as a punch Na

Really? Go back an talk to your GP, urgently!

It had the opposite effect for me, got rid of the wailing woman and the angry attack woman too! I was very wary of changing to the implant because of the fear I would return to that angry person.

SORRY!!! phone glitch .... cut a long story short I feel like my blood physically boiling and I can't control my temper just to add I'm very tearful and over emotional about everything..... my doctor was useless and said I'm probably depressed by the termination it's not got anything to do with the depo injection..... but I just know it is

well then clearly this contraception isn't right for you. I know it's not like the implant where it can be removed but I think you do need a GP appointment to talk about alternative contraception when for when your next injection is due. Could they give you tablets for your mood swings in the mean time.
You don't need me or anyone else to tell you that you can't go on like this abusing your partner

I had the same on the pill babbz it was a complete personality transplant and I will never use hormonal contraception again. I think with the depo you will have to wait for it to wear off (November?) but I would recommend the copper coil after that if you think that would work for you?

Don’t get another. Yoga and meditate your way until this one runs out. Some women just cannot tolerate it.

You need a second opinion, then.

If you're verbally abusive to your partner and using him as a punch bag then you need to leave the relationship. Whatever the cause, that is not acceptable.

Hormonal contraceptives can affect your mood. I'm not sure what can be done to redress the imbalance, if anything, you'd need to ask your GP.

Can I just say I didn't mean I hit my partner I Ment I'm taking everything out on him verbally..... I was never like his before ..... another odd thing my boobs have got huge and occasionally tender and I'm tired all the time since haveing the injection done back in may .... (I'm defo not pregnant) ..... my dh told me last night he can't take it anymore I need to change.....

If you're verbally abusive to your partner and using him as a punch bag then you need to leave the relationship. Whatever the cause, that is not acceptable. Hold that thought... and have a reconsider.

30+ years ago I was where OP is. DH was my verbal punchbag, I was horrendous. But we talked, discussed the whys and wherefores and worked through strategies to help me maintain some control.

Then my new GP took me off the pill, gave me a year with the cap, monitored my moods, did a bag load or research and we tentatively chose Depo. I changed overnight, gained control and felt more like me than I had done since puberty hit.

If OP and her OP can discuss this and agree to weather it until she can get a better contraception fit, a GP who will listen more, whatever it take, there is no need to dot the LTB, abuser thing! Adults can work such crap out!

You are verbally abusing him, to the point that he cannot take it anymore. That's domestic abuse. Please don't minimise your actions.

Irrespective of the cause you cannot continue doing that.

there is no need to dot the LTB, abuser thing! Adults can work such crap out!

Would you say that to a woman being abused, being used as a verbal punch bag? All because you were as bad, that doesn't make it ok.

Yes, I would, if there were no physical violence and a plausible medical reason but ONLY if both people were willing, which is what the WHOLE of my post said, no mater what little sound bite you chose!

I just want to add my voice - I had 2 cycles of Depo and was an emotional mess. It was truly awful.

I have no advice - just that I rode it out and tried to deal with the symptoms as best as I could but I was single so appreciate it’s not so easy for you.
