Mini pill and depression

I’ve been on the mini pill short term (think maximum seven months) on and off since I was sixteen and after having my dd I have been on it now for 2.5 years. Recently I have started feeling extremely low and have found myself crying myself to sleep or crying for what appears to me to be for no reason. Could this be a side effect of the mini pill? Has anyone else experienced this after long term use or could this be the beginning of depression?

This happened to me too. Took it after first child and was fine, took it after second and had depression and anxiety. Came off it and within days felt much better.
