I had a break from contraception for a while then this summer I went on the combined pill when I met my partner. I’ve tried many types of contraceptives and this is the only one that doesn’t cause me to bleed constantly or gain weight.
A few months after taking the pill my moods started to be quite low. I started to become detached from family and friends not wanting to socialise or anything. It’s been an effort to just get out of bed. It’s only been in the last month that I’ve linked the two. I honestly feel like I’m a different person. I lost my dad 18 months ago which still feels quite raw. I’m not sure if that is contributing but I’m hoping it’s just the pill so I can have an easy way out of the way I’m feeling. The past couple of weeks have been horrendous, I’ve cried near enough every day and barely left the house. I feel like there’s no end to this and this is how I’ll feel forever.
has anyone ever experienced anything similar with contraceptives? I’ve told DP that as of today I’m not taking the pill to see if it helps with my mood.
