I am 22 years old.
I have suffered from anxiety sine I was 9 and have Panic Disorder/GAD. I also struggle with depression.
I realized recently that my birth control is a HUGE factor in why my anxiety/depression is more severe than normal lately. Its just so uncontrollably bad. (I am on the pill Lutera)
I have tried 4 different birth control pills. Lutera is the only one that didnt hurt my sensitive stomache/make me nauseas. However, I cant stand how much worse my anxiety is. (I have been on it for about a year)
I dont knwo what to do. I have a great sex life with my husband, but I DONT want to be on this pill anymore. Condoms hurt me and take away much on the sensation.
I am really looking for some advice on other methods of birth control that wont make me feel so awful all the time. I cant live like this; sex isnt worth it.
Anyone go through something similar? What should I do?
