I thot i had turned a corner recently an was improvin and then my period started today an i have been an emotional wreck. Is this normal? Im findin it really hard to cope, just want to be better an feel like i never will be
I get very emotional down usually at the onset of period too and usually it lifts up once its over. I have an app called hormonology and it tells you what you can expect to feel day by day as our hormones go through the ups and down. Us feeling down depressed at our period is very common because our estrogen is completely depleted rock bottom then as it end the anxiety kicks in and that's rising estrogen for you. I am very sensitive to estrogen it seems as I'm sure most girls are and I think the culprit once again would be birth control. Stay strong and log everything.

Has anyone a success story to tell where they have distant from their partner and then overcame that to feel totally in love again? I fear my feelings arent going to change and im wondering should i leave my husband as this isnt fair on him :-/
In my situation I don't feel distant from my boyfriend I just feel like my feelings for him changed. I still love him but it's not that in love feeling. I don't think you should leave your husband if you are truly sure BC did this to you. Sometimes my thoughts never go away and they are on my mind 24/7. You kinda just have to think about your life without that person and see if you would think that's better for you or not.
Thats the thing- how do i kno if its def birth control?? I kno my life wudnt be better without him but at same time im struggling to be a loving an supportive wife, which isnt fair on him :-(
Yeah I always question and wonder if it's really the birth control and then I think there is no other reason I would feel like this. Also many other girls go through it so that also shows me that the pill could do it.
For me it's just like a constant heart break and for no reason! Nothing is wrong I can't stand this!
I'm so sorry. I am not in a relationship, so I think my feeling instead is dissatisfaction with my day-to-day life and having trouble getting through the day. I'm not sure if this is just how the hormones messed me up, or my depression talking. I don't have any answers, but remind yourself this isn't you! It will get better! I can't tell you when or how, but others have gotten better and I hold on to that.
I could not agree more! We just gotta keep swimming against the current, but I have faith we will overcome this!
In my situation, I hated life at first and I think I got a lot better! I am starting to enjoy life a lot more 4 months later. Although I still have that iffy feeling for my boyfriend I learned to enjoy my time with him and not let that get the best of me. I still question my relationship and that hurts but I learned how to deal with it. It will get easier as time goes on and hopefully eventually go away!
How is everyone doing?
Hi, I have the same exact situation almost. I'm wondering how long it took for you to feel "normal" Again. I hope you come back to this site ! Thanks
What's your situation? All the girls on here would love to help!
Hi girls I'm new to this. I've been looking at this forum yet haven't posted because I've been reading what everyone else writes. I was on BC for such a short period of time, got off of it for financial reasons as well as some other side effects that I didn't like. First month was fine. While on birth control I felt way to emotional. I would cry for no reason, think my boyfriend doesn't love me and even worse, feel like I don't love him. Keep in mind, I've been dating him for 4 years and this thought never crossed my mind. So about a month after coming off the pill I got my first period. Right after that period I went into about a week long depression. I had anxiety to the point where I was shaking in my bed for days. I did not eat, did not get up to do anything. And this anxiety was all because I felt the urge to break up with my boyfriend and that was so weird to me. So now fast forward about 5 months later. I am doing much better and I know I have made progress. I used to feel differently about everything. Now, the only thing that still seems to bother me is my feelings towards my boyfriend. I wake up everyday thinking about it, and I'll go to sleep every night thinking about it. It's constantly on my mind that I feel differently for him and that I'm not "in love" even when we do things that we used to do it just doesn't feel the same. I look at him under a different light. Some days I won't find him attractive and that will bother me, other days something he does will bother me and some times I just don't even want to be near him. I feel like I am distancing myself from my amazing relationship. I used to think that whatever I do with him I will be bored and that even made me not want to see him anymore. Moral of the story, this whole experience has turned me into a different person. I can not appreciate the wonderful person my boy is anymore. I can't seem to feel the love no matter what I do and that kills me. I just hope I get better and it really is the hormones or something about birth control that did this to me. I keep telling myself that if it wasn't then I wouldn't have held on for so long. It's tiring and I just want it all to end. Is anyone else going through this? If so please help me :(
Just got my 5th period a couple days ago since I've been off the pill and yesterday was an absolute nightmare for me. Today I feel terrible. I have not felt this bad since all this started back in march. I don't know if it could be worsened by the fact I've had a sick baby this weekend and haven't gotten much rest. But I am still dealing with the insomnia as well. I had an appointment to see an NP this week but it was cancelled because she will no longer be working at that clinic. So I'm without a provider until they find a new one. My only option now is to go to urgent care and talk to someone about the issues I've been having. Please send some good wishes my way. I really need them. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
