This might sound dumb but I see that girls are saying that the longest surviver felt better in about a year and a half and I have a fear that when I hit that mark I won’t feel better! I’m 8 months off so obviously I have a lot of healing to go but I fear that I will never get better. Also does anyone feel like it’s the same c**p different day???? that expression literally describes my life right now
Hi how are you today? :) i had an ok day yesterday probably a 6/10.. so thats a big up from my usual 4/10 daily. I dont know if stayinh under the morning sun for 20mins and 10mins bed yoga made that change but ill take all the good days that i can
I hope you're having a good day too! Let's keep in touch. It's so therapeutic for me to talk to you guys while going through this tough time :)

Hi! I get what you mean by the same cr*p different day :( All my mornings are like that - like i have nothing to look forward to throughout the day. Instead im scared because i dont know what will happen to me that will last all day.
You're 8 months off now but still experiencing the same symptoms when you first got off? I'm only 7 weeks off so I have a looooooooong battle to fight.
What are your symptoms?

Also to add yes from reading from the forums here and other sites.. a year to 2 years is the common timeframe for 100% recovery.. but they said it does get better after 3-6 months. There are ways to ease the symptoms and all that. The worst for me are the setbacks..
I also read some say recovery time depends on how long you are on the pill but i also came across someone who just took the pill for 8 days but went through all this for 6 mos..
I know it's so fruatrating because we can't be certain about it :( all we can do is keep on fighting everyday

Glad to hear it, I had a pretty decent day! I was feeling a little anxious towards the end of my workday but once I got home I felt better. I’d give it a 5/10 :) Sunlight is always good! Thanks for keeping in touch it helps me as well!
Ugh my reply didn’t send earlier but yes, that in itself is an obsessive thought. I try my best to dismiss it. Remember we are all different and our bodies react differently so don’t try to gauge your recovery based on others, I know easier said than done. I have moments where I start to think the same but then I think about how I’ve slowly recovered and I’m reminds me that time plays an important role on this journey! Stay strong. We will be here for each other regardless of the amount of time it may take ! it’s weird though cause the other day I was freaking out about this and came on here for reassurance yet I’m giving you this advice and wholeheartedly believe it and stand by it. Just goes to show you how powerful the mind is.
I hope we'll have more good days :) i'll keep all of us in my prayers.. it's morning from where I am so i'm praying hard I'd have an ok day today..
I agree about how powerful our mind is. I watched on youtube about anxiety that we have a mind body connection to whatever we think eventually our body absorbs it and feel it.. and sometimes that is my case :( i try my best to fight it. I feel silly but the other day i sang britney spears songs so loud so i can get my mind off it lol
I came off the pill in oct 2016 so im about 15 months off. I didnt really notice the symptoms until about jan last year tho and they got really bad over the summer. I tried counselling but altho it made me feel better after the session, when it came near to the next session i would get anxious about talkin about the same sort of stuff over an over so im not sure it really helped. I became so bad that it was affectin my marriage which was nearly at breakin point so i went to the doctor an was prescribed fluoextine for anxiety an i must say it was life changing. Iv been on it for a month now and for the first time in a year i feel calmer and tbe rocd is def subsiding a my marriage seems to be getting back on track. Lookng back i have prob always suffered a certian level of anxiety but coming off bc realy left me a nervous wreck. I suffered a few setbacks along the way as well an even now im expecting my period and i can feel the overthinking an worry creepin in. Hopefully im over the worst. I wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy. Hope we all overcome this 100% but part of me feels itl always be a small part of me :-(
Hi! It's definitely an experience that we wont wish on anybody :( im only off 7 weeks and the past few weeks has been a hard ride.
How long have you been on the pill before getting off?
How long have you been on the pill before getting off?
I was on the pill 8 years
I was on the pill roughly 5 years straight.. if only i knew coming off them will be this hard I would never have taken them in the first place.. :(
This is the hardest 7 weeks of my life. Sometimes it feels like it will be this way forever. Its hard to convince myself sometimes that this is temporary but reading other women's improvement gives me hope.
What are the worsts side effectd for you?

I was only on the pill for 2 months and I’m still dealing with the side effects that everyone is dealing with after nine months of being off.
Im not sure if you're still active but this is me! All my mornings for 5 weeks now :( its so tiring waking up and not looking forward to something good.
I'm sorry to hear that :( I guess it really depends on how our body cope with the side effects of going off the pills..
What symptoms do u still have after 9mos being off?
For me - 7 weeks off - i feel fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness, nausea.. feels lile im in a dream. What's worse is my crowd and health anxiety :(
