Hey! You could. I did but it was a disaster lol she told me it wasn't the pill after 1 second and then sent a social worker in to talk to me. I also went to my primary doctor and he prescribed me Xanax. Not every doctor is the same. My mom asked her doctor about my situation and she said it definitely could be the pill, and that anything with hormones in it will obviously effect your mood etc. I ripped up the Xanax prescription and never took it. Last thing I need is medication right now, when I'm trying to recover from one. If you're not comfortable with the gyno maybe consider a doctor or naturopathic doctor, I know a lot of people here have had good results with that. I started going to a counsellor today at my University, so we'll see how it goes. I get 12 sessions (once a week) with her starting now. I took a test there today and I am in the 90 percentile for depression. Never thought that would happen to me. Every week I'll take the same test when I check in to see progress. She is going to make a "treatment plan" for me. I explained to her when this all started with the pill and she didn't say it's not possible. It's good to go to therapy/counsellor because they can at least track your mental health.

How was everyones day? Hope you're all doing okay and maybe noticed some weight lifted off your shoulders. Keeping you all in my thoughts!
My day was okay. We got snow here so woke up to a Winter Wonderland and a herd of wild turkeys in my backyard! Went to counseling and had pizza for dinner. Now getting started on some reading. I'm so so so glad we all have this place we can check in at!

Hi! Glad to hear your day went ok today. When we get an ok day isn't it something to be grateful for given what we have been feeling physically and mentally for months? :) I hope we all get more okay days and then it will turn into better ones.
I had 3 ok days. There were moments I can feel the physical anxiety creeping in but i think taking my L-Theanine helps me manage it a little. Last night I felt weird when I was about to sleep- it's like my muscles are shaking and i just feel off. I slept it off. Then this morning I feel the physical anxiety - head & ear pressure, lightheadedness and tingling feeling. Checking my calendar it's a week before my period. Maybe that explains it.. I have read from the other girls they usually get the heightened anxiety days or weeks before their period. I'm gonna try to take my mind off it for the rest of the day.. i hope it won't bother me as much.
Grateful for this forum :)

You can try. I went to my ob-gyn and told her about my situation and she said it might be that. She said that I will fine as soon as my body adjust. So that's good that she's not like the others who dismissed the theory altogether. She also prescribed me some vitamins to help with the symptoms i told her. She gave me Iron with Folic Acid & Neuronerv (Vitamins B1,B6 & B12). I feel like it helped me after 2 weeks of taking it now.
I'm only on my 9th week off bcp but I want to be proactive to at least help me lessen the burden of the physical anxiety that bothers me the most. Try to find a Naturopathic Doctor and a good acupuncturist too. I had 2 sessions of acupuncture already and I feel like it helped me a lot.
I had a good 2 days following my acupuncture session. This morning though I feel weird but maybe that's because I'll get my period soon. I'm sending good and positive vibes to all of us here

Thank you so much for your post, you have no idea how much this helped me to understand as to why I've been feeling the way I have mentally, and physically. You described the way I've been feeling to a T! Thank you so much, I was so worried for myself and body this helped a lot!! xxxx

Maybe I’ll try a naturopathic doctor instead. I just don’t want to be discouraged by the gynecologist. In the beginning of this I told her how I was feeling and she said that my symptoms were weird which made me feel terrible. Who knows what she will say 9 months later! I think I’ll hold off on going to see her because they will never say anything is wrong with the pill!

Does anyone in this thread have ROCD and doubt their relationship and partner a lot?! It’s my biggest problem
Loading...
Yes that was my biggest problem :-( it was horrible. I overthought an got paranoid about everythin thinkin he was lyin etc etc i have gotten a lot better recently thank goodness but it was definitely a horrible time. I felt like i was stuck an didnt kno what to do but deep down i loved my husband too. I hope im over the worst of it. I ended up on fluoextine from the doctor for anxiety. It was a gamr changer for me

Does it actually help? I might need to try something. I feel like I barely have any anxiety but the ROCD is still here and I would say it’s pretty bad but idk when I think of anxiety I don’t think of it like this.

Did you feel like you loved your husband but you couldn’t actually feel the love or like feel excited to be around him or with him like you used to. And do you analyze everything about him because that’s how I’m feelin! :(

I feel like it def changed things for me. My anxiety was cos of how i was feeling towards my husband etc i panicked cos i was only newly married an shudnt have been feelin like that. I doubted it was the pill but it was only thing i cud think of. I worried about stuff that never bothered me before to the point where i jus felt blah. But im happy to say i seem to have turned a corner now. I hope you fee better soon. Big hugs

Yes thats exactly how i was feeling. IT was horrible. I really feel for you. Time is a great healer

How long have you been off? It’s been almost 9 months for me but I know it’s different for everyone. I just keep thinking to myself that if I didn’t love him I would leave him!
