I’ve only been on the pill for three days, I take it at night and this is the fourth day. I have a history of struggling with my mental health. And I feel like it’s affecting me already:( I want to stop but yes there’s pressure because I don’t want to get pregnant ofc, I know there are alternatives so I might just go back to the doctor…but it’s like ughhhh I was arguing with my boyfriend and I feel bad I really do and I’m conflicted I’m irritated and way more emotional and when I went to get on it she didn’t really help me with what types of contraception would be less likely to effect me even tho they all have hormones I feel like I’ve been really focusing on doing better but now I feel like I just had a minor set back…I’m on the mini pill tho I forgot the brand

Just know that it takes 3 to 6 months to get used to birth control, your body needs time. It is true the pill can influence your mental but if you’re struggling with mental health it’s recommended to get the appropriate help (easier said than done ofc). Just know that swapping may not improve things. You could try the copper coil if you don’t want to deal with hormones. But you need to be comfortable with the insertion process.

I’ve decided I’m going to keep at it, just try to ground myself as needed thank you
