Hello, I'm in month 6 and suffered from Health OCD in that period particularly during months 2-4. I know many women here had what's called ROCD or Relationship OCD instead. It's another stupid reaction to your hormones being out of whack, it's not you or your relationship.
OMG yes!!! Thought that was just me. I have dark circles under my eyes!!! I never had that before and I sleep well. I'm thinking about getting a good concealer lol. I know you can get bags under your eyes or dark circles from vitamin deficiency so maybe it's the same with hormones being low.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you all! Had a good day however, have felt extremely tired all day even though I slept a good amount of hours -.- this used to happen to me a lot at the beginning where no matter how many hours of sleep I got I just always felt exhausted. Hoping I get a better nights rest today!
Hey guys so this is really weird. My period ended on February 3rd and I usually have a really long cycle so my period tracker says I’m not supposed to get it for another 27 days which is normal for me. Well I just went to the bathroom and was bleeding as if I had my period and it’s only the 15th. This is so weird and never happened to me so idk what I should do!
^^ I’m 10 months off
have you gotten your hormones checked? obvisouly if your period is irregular thats a good sign for you because you know its a hormonal imbalance, so if your feeling weird there is your answer! Get your hormones checked, and get on a natural supplement that will help with all these symptoms (ie. irregular period, low progesterone)
Yes relationship OCD for 10 months! depression, anxiety and many other symptoms. The blood is gone and only lasted for about 4 hours but it was very weird. I would consider it spotting. And my boobs kinda hurt but I definitely wouldn’t consider it my period. My period ended on the 3rd which was about 2 weeks ago
Could you be pregnant?
No I don’t think it’s a possibility. (This might be TMI) We use protection every time and he also will always pull out. I think we are pretty safe but sometimes we do start without a condom for only a minute or so. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and it came back negative. My period has been really weird these last couple of months though. I haven’t felt them coming and I’ll either get them early or randomly. I used to feel symptoms of it coming for about a week before it even came. Now it just shows up! When I first got off the pill in may I had my first period in June and it was regulated from birth control for about 3 months. Then it went back to “normal” which is me skipping a month. I still skip a month but now it’s a lot different and I’m randomly bleeding! (It stopped)
Oops never mind it just came back! It’s not much blood, I would consider it spotting.
Hey! So does anyone else have a strong feeling of hopelessness/impending doom? Some times I get this strong feeling of what's the purpose of life, what am I even doing here. Before this whole mess I never use to think like that, and it's painful too now. This is probably TMI but I'm on my period as of yesterday and had terrible pain in my uterus for days and days before. This is my third (fourth maybe) period since I got off birth control 6 months ago, and this one and the last are so heavy. Also, I never had heavy periods like this even before I was on the pill. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes! I’m 10 months off and for a while I would always think to myself, “why am I here”, “there is nothing to look forward to” and the saying “same sh*t different day” was literally how I felt. I can now say that I am much better but I’m still not extremely happy with life. I still often feel like there is no purpose to be here and like everything will suck but I think it’s the depression. I hope for the day we are all better and forget about this horrible time. Although you may feel hopeless sometimes and like you will never revert back to your normal self I think you will! Best of luck on this long journey
Does anyone experience tired eyes? Or pale, dry skin and large circles under eyes? It is not dark circles, just large eye bags or puffy eyes. Not sure how to describe this. I slept badly the past few weeks, I would wake up few times during the night. Now I sleep better and am feeling better everyday. My anxiety is almost gone, vision problems as well but I am still more tired than usual. Thanks for help!
Yeah I would say I’ve experienced some tired eyes. Glad you’re starting to feel better. How many months off are you
Hey Alicia how are you? This is Martha.
I know how u feel about the impending doom thing.. it comes randomly for me. Sometimes our anxiety doesn't have any trigger at all - its just how our hormones play with us. It sucks so much
