i recently started college, and it is my first semester. i was having really bad anxiety- but i wasn't on any medication, as i had not told anyone. i started taking the birth control and my anxiety has lessened dramatically. is it because i am taking these extra hormones? or is it just me being genuinely happy for the first time in month? i want to know so i can improve on it, i feel so good lately to not have this nagging sadness trapped and unable to enjoy anything and always being nervous and to finally be relieved from that is heaven. please help me figure this out!
