hi everyone!
Just wondering if anyone else feels like they cannot enjoy themselves anymore, like looking forward to stuff is not a thing anymore and everything feels so dull...?
Also... does anyone feel like while they were on the pill that it may have dulled them out and made them somewhat depressed but didn't realize until they were off?

Just curious if anyone has tried St. John’s wort and if it helped at all?
Tried it, not really. Every time I’ve tried to take it it has just really bothered my stomach.
Today has been a hard day again... Yesterday, I felt great, like I was normal again? and then today of course it came back. I woke up with a headache, then continued to cry off and on all day. The sad part is im suppose to be going to a cottage this week but I feel like I can't even do that. I feel like this is never going to end. It has taken over moments that are suppose to be exciting. I feel so low and helpless. I hate this
Hey, question! Is anyone else just miserable? I feel like I’m just so miserable to be around. I’m so super irritable and can’t control myself when literally flipping out of my boyfriend. I feel so terrible after but in the moment I can’t control myself.
Yep! And sad.. like crying on and off. It’s a non stop roller coaster. I can actually feel my mood swings in my head, it’s like a wave of sadness, panic, anger, etc! It’s making my life horrible because it’s summer and I’m only 21, I feel like I’m just wasting what should be the most exciting time of my life.
I have those feelings too. My biggest issue is I struggled with mild depression and anxiety prior to coming off the pill and I feel like coming off the pill has exasperated all of my symptoms to the max. I almost feel like I am grieving.
Same I had mild depression before the pill and it's like both during it and after it my depression is twice as bad.

The biggest thing that is bothering me is feeling that I am not real and everything around me feels unreal. I constantly have to remind myself that I am alive it is very surreal and SCARY!!!
Hey girls,
Its gonna be my one year off in August... Can't believe how an awful ride its been. I still feel really trapped by the effects of the Pill. I still have major moodswings with depression and a bit of anxiety all related to ROCD. This aspect have affected me so much that it became almost like an obsession at all times. I always try to analyse how my friends are with their boyfriends and compare it with our relationship to see if we are being normal... Its really take a toll on my relationship which was simply magical before this mess. Weve been together for almost 3 years now, and I just wish all of this could go away. Last cycle I had a major MAJOR setback around day 22... I got so scared that I had PMDD... I dont want to deal with this forever... I hope it was just a setback. I also feel shitty around before after ovulation and period. Actually, there is a very few days that I don't feel the effects on my mental health... Ive never had diagnosed anxiety or depression before. Been on the pill for around 4 years... I used to be so confident in our relationship and would always daydream about kids and house and future memories and now it creates anxiety.. even a year later. I can manage it most of the time, but i would say I am 60% recovered compared to the first month where i was completely devastated by these thoughts. I feel like I will always have a bit of ROCD because its part of my life now... So scared. I just wanna be the happiest and most care free girl and be happy and joyful and not to worry... :(
We are really badasses for going through this and I read that it may take 2,5 years to completely be back to normal. Time is the best healer.... Im currently trying probiotics, B complex, Magnesium, tryna help the best I can.... Sending strenght to all of you.

Hey! I’m about 15 months off and still deal with ROCD! like you said, you can sometimes control the thoughts but a lot of the time it’s super hard to just feel happy. I really just wonder when I’ll feel “normal” again because this sucks completely. I also think that I’ll have a bit of ROCD forever. I analyze my friends relationships too and I always just like question so much about my relationship, it sucks! Lately I’ve been like scared to go out and see attractive guys because I feel like I’d cheat on my BF and that’s totally not like me at all! I’ve been so loyal to him for 4 years and would never ever go through with the compulsion of cheating. Wishing you the best. If you to talk privately lmk! (I think we have a lot in common)
Hi ladies,
I had actually written on here a few days ago, today is my official 13 month mark and my period is late -.- and of course I’m having a bit of a setback immediately i start to think I’m the only one dealing with this for so long (even though I’ve read of longer cases) but in that moment you feel like the only one, that’s never going to get better that’s worse than everyone else and is hopeless so your posts couldn’t have come at a better time. I am sorry you are going through this for so long but please know you are giving me strength to power through!

Im new to this forum, my name is Kylee! I feel the exact same way and im only 20! I should be enjoying my life rn but instead im anxious 24/7 and its making me super depressed because its going on 7 months off the pill now & i was never like this before the pill :( i just want to live my normal happy life again!!
It sucks because I got through times feeling like I really love my boyfriend and then other times I just feel so blah about him as if I’m not interested in him at all. It’s a really shitty feeling and I don’t know how to overcome it.
Hi, i posted on here a little over a month ago and my symptoms are very similar to all of yours and have not gone away. Its been about 3 months now and before and after my period i get depressed and EXTREMELY anxious. im supposed to be going on vaccation in Sept but by the way im feeling it doesnt seem like its going to happen. I got my horomones tested through my blood and my DHEAS levels are VERY high. i was never like this until i took the pill and now im worried that its never going to go away.
