Feeling depressed after stopping the birth control pills?

Can i ask how long u were on the pill?

Only 3 months. About two weeks after starting the pill I knew something was different. It all happened very suddenly and out of no where

I was 9 years in pill an came off last october. Didnt realy notice any effects until january time tho. Just feel like i am ao irrational now. I cant seem to sympathise with scenarios which i would have before. Im accusin my husband of all sorts with no reason an im strugglin to trust. I also cry very easily. We were supposed to be tryin for a baby but all this has taken over an iseffextively ruining my rationship. I jus dont feel excitement about anythin anymore. Im worried i wont feel secure an in love again. :-(

I was dating my SO for about 3 years before starting the pill so that’s how I know that when the pill came into my body is when I started to feel weird. I think it’s hard for women who feel this way if they are on the pill before meeting their SO. It makes it harder for them to distinguish if the pill is what made them love this person or not.

Yeah i was already on pill before i met my now husband. Wev been together 5 years now. Is there a time when we eventually go back to feelin normal after all this or am i stuck like this?? I kno i cudnt live without him but i jus feel weird about us now which breaks my heart! :-(

I wish I could tell you the answer to that! I think over time it gets better and we all seem to have the same ROCD because of the pill

Its jus so unfair. I never ever thought id feel like this. I just want my life back :-(
Is there anyone on here who has completely recovered an if so how long did it take?
Tho prob if u have recovered theres no need to be on this site lol but worth an ask

Same chick here, I forgot to say. I listen to Bobbi and Brian Houston on podcast for extra spiritual encouragement. Listen ladies, our father our God is always with us. And I promise, he will never leave you nor forsake you .

It's nice to know there are more of us suffering! (In a weird way) I wish nothing more hen to be myself again.. especially these last two days I have made decisions which I shouldn't have because I do not feel myself. I don't even feel like I can tell right from wrong , or I am not even confident in any answer I give... I feel so lost it's crazy... I am 3 months off birth control, but I know it takes positive thinking to speed up the process, I can't always be sloshing around and doing nothing. I don't have a job anymore.. so I should probably start looking again. My grades have been TERRIBLE. So next semester I have to pick it up. I keep ending my relationship because I think It's what has to be done.. when in fact it's probably only my mind playing tricks on me. I can see the progress I have made and I'm grateful and sometimes I want to cry at the pain I had to go through in the 1/2 months .. my poor mind .. my poor everything.. but I got through it! I have been taking multivitamins and just overall trying to live a better life... it's hard to keep relationships with friends or spouses because you don't feel yourself and you feel like they don't deserve this version of you... I know everyone goes through hard times but this is beyond hard. My experience with depression, anxiety, OCD thoughts I don't wish upon anyone .. Can't wait to recover fully but I know that is going to take hard work on both ends!

What supplements r u using?

I take a women’s organic multi vitamin, probiotics, turmeric, Bvitamin, Ashwangda.
The herbalist gave me Thy D, Passion flower, sanicle, apricot tincture, HK-B, slippery elm, arnica and 5-HTP
He makes them himself.
The man I went to is a iridologist and is very good ! But there’s others out there. I would recommend going to a specialist to get the supplements like him or a naturopath. They will be able to run test on you and see where you are lacking.
But like I said it’s more than just supplements you’ve got to do the behavioral therapy piece too. That’s definitely the challenging part. You can look online for information.
We can get through this, you just got to ride it out and take the bad days with the good.
Definitely look up the doctors I listed, they have wonderful resources. And Dr. Brighten sells supplements on her site.

Hi ladies,

I was on Yaz (and other birth control pills) for 10 years. I am officially 4 months off Yaz now. The last month has been horrific. I overreacted to a small car accident (anxiety/depression/rage) and my boyfriend of 9 months ended up breaking up with me. I am not the type of person who gets phased by small accidents, but with my hormones being out of control, I took out all my negative emotions onto my boyfriend and parents. It is soooo depressing that he saw me at my worst. I wish I could show him the lovely person I truly am, but he's had enough of my crazy episodes and called it quits. To go through a breakup during this period, is excruciatingly painful. I am hoping that my hormones balance out and the crying/screaming episodes stop. Just need some hope today. :(

I forgot to mention that i've been taking ashwagandha, reishi, N-acetyl-cysteine, licorice and peony, Alpha lipoic acid, B vitamin, and fish oil. So far I haven't seen any improvements in my mood issues. Has anyone seem improvement with acupuncture?

I wish we had a play by play for each month.. of how we would be feeling.. because now im just over analyzing all my past mistakes, and i feel not myself, i feel gross with anything sexual, also pretty numb to anything regarding love. But anxiety and depression are NOT as bad as they used to be.. so i guess thats good. I think im gonna start being proactive and find another job, maybe ill feel good about myself again and can have enough money to buy my loved ones christmas gifts

YEah nikki i find myself over analyising stuff from the last too. Stuff that never bothered me before but now im obsessing about. Its the past an it cant be changed or controlled but i cnt seem to rise out of this slump. I just feel like i could cry all the time and all i want is to feel close to my husband again. Hes being so good but i find myself just sort of withdrawing from him for fear of being hurt etc. I never thought id be like this. I used to be petrified of losin him an now im the one questionin my feelings. Im startin to doubt that it really is the pill :-( why is it only makin me worry about my relationship an nothing else???
