Hey Kay. What made you want to stop the HBC? I thought I was going crazy and had anxiety almost every day. I think anxiety has gotten better bt I got a vitamin deficiency from HBC and I also believe it affected my gut health.

Anxiety hit me really hard out of seemingly nowhere and instantly I knew the pill had something to do with it! I took it everyday like clockwork but the month prior I had gone out of town and missed quite a few and then the month of June when I actually quit I missed a few sporadic ones. When the anxiety hit I was naseous for some time so even when I tried taking it I kept throwing up, I was so fed up I just stopped. Yeah for me it was like a week straight where I just felt anxious and for no particular reason. I had not found this forum yet so I began to think maybe it was just me but I kept searching online and when I found this it was a relief to say the least from that point forward it started fading away. Now I just feel kind of flat, like my emotions were stripped! It's ridiculous and I can't wait till this is all over.

I'm hoping this helps and gives relief to many people going through what I went through. I've been dating my boyfriend for 3 years. I decided to go on birth control because my period was super irregular! At first, I felt okay. 2 weeks in a felt to feel weird. I was very emotional and felt "different" towards my boyfriend. This was very odd to me because I have always been in love with him. I decided to wait it out and see how things would go once my body got used to the synthetic hormones. After 2 months of waiting and seeing no improvements I decided to come off the pill. The first month was okay. I felt like I was getting back to normal until getting my first period. About one month after stopping the pill I felt like my life was falling apart. I lost all feelings for my boyfriend and I doubted everything about us and our relationship. The thought of this made me sick to my stomach which put me into a week long depression. I constantly had negative thoughts about our relationship but somewhere in the back of my head I knew I loved him. These thoughts made him feel like a complete stranger to me. I felt like I didn't know who he was and everything we once had was gone. During this time I also lost my sex drive so that didn't make things much better. I took it day by day even though it felt like this would never end. Fast forward almost 4 months. I've had 3 periods so far and I feel better each time. I'm starting to feel like myself again but not 100%. I still doubt my relationship and that kills me but I have hope that I will feel "in love" again. I know this feeling is scary and it doesn't make sense but a lot of girls go through it. I hope the best for every single female who stumbles upon this forum. We don't deserve this but it will get better!

Thank you for posting this. All I keep thinking about is that moment when I can feel like that again as well. I'm so inpatient which does not help but seeing things like this really help me level out.
I just always try to remind myself that I WILL feel love again.
Hang in there!

Kay, If you don't mind me asking do you have a significant other that you felt like you lost feelings for?
Loading...
I wouldn't say I lost feelings cause I know this is all part of this crazy imbalance but sometimes I feel like I just don't feel love not only towards my significant other but my family as well, it breaks my heart to even type that. I know I love them but that little flicker is so weak. It's like my emotions are muted and so I start questioning myself. Which is crazy to me because I can cry at the drop of a hat so clearly I'm emotional, it's just those happy feelings I can't seem to get a grip on from time to time. I do believe it is surfacing though it's just tough when the anxiety or depressive moods kick in cause your mind goes haywire. From what I've read it's common and with time it resurfaces, patience is key!

Kay how long have you been off the pill now?
Why do we think it affects our feelings towards our partnerz? It seems such a random side effect but its def the worst for me :-( im 10 minths off an still strugglin

It has been two months now. Honestly I have no clue. My guess is because of the different moods and our mind in a slump we just kinda drift into such a negative mindset and unfortunately that affects anything important to us because how else would we develope such anxieties had it not been towards things we care deeply about!
I really wish this was something widely known because it just sucks to go through this and to see how many other people have been affected.
Don't loose hope! This will all be worth it in the end!

Although it's extremely hard to think anything will get better we all just have to remember that many people go through this. The thoughts and feelings are so real that it almost feels like I will never feel the same. It's hard to remember my life before this

I get what you mean sometimes I'm like why am I even feeling this way like I almost feel normal but something's just off, it's so difficult to explain!
