I don't really know where to post this as there seem to be so many issues tied up together. I have posted before under health becuase I can not find a contraceptive that suits me (have tried 3 combined pills, one mini pill and the mirena coil). I have posted under Depression because my moods and behaviour get unbearable at times - although I feel strongly they may be linked to the pills. I have posted under Parenting because of course all of the above is affecting my relationship with my children, especially my DD who I have a loving but somewhat "heated" relationship with at the best of times.
I think this morning was the final straw. There were lots of little irritations - DS broke one of DD's toys by accident. DD broke something of mine by accident. DH forgot to put out the recycling bags so I had to do it when I was supposed to be leaving to get the kids to school. DD couldn't do up the zip on her coat. DS forgot to put on his overall for nursery (or rather I forgot to give it to him until his coat was all zipped up). So I shouted at the kids and threw the recycling bag at the dog (only papers not bottles but still!).
This was not good.
DH and I have talked about it and I'm going to come off my pill again for at least 3 months to see if my moods and everything else settles down. So on top of an already black mood I now have the prospect of no sex for 3 months as we know we are completely hopeless with condoms. I don't really know what I'm loooking for - probably just a bit of sympathy unless someone out there has some amazing brilliant advice that I havn't already heard.
