vaginapagina | starting hbc (pills) -advice (Reply)

hello hello!
so for the past I don't know how long, the first day or so of my period or so has been hell. I've posted about it before, but I'll summarize: unbearable pain, can't move, puke puke puke. I have a pretty normal flow (not crazy heavy, long, irregular or anything), not really any other symptoms or conditions to worry about.

I'm looking to go on hbc since although I'm a virgin, I'm starting a relationship and figure that as I get older I should have some "just in case" protection anyway, and the painkillers my doctor prescribed me for my crazy cramps and vomiting don't work that well and I'm fed up with it.

here's my question: I find I'm prone to anxiety and depression (I'm a chronic overthinker and all that fun stuff), so I'm super freaked out about how the pill might affect me. most of my friends are on hbc and tried to console me, and I know that there isn't a way of knowing without trying, but is there a certain pill/type of pill I should go toward? one that isn't likely to cause or up anxiety/depression/mood difficulties while still being able to control my insane cramp attacks?

sorry for the novel for a simple question, but I thanks in advance for your help, I really appreciate it.
