Is it normal to experience intense emotions after starting on the combination pill again? After 6 months of discontinuing it, I restarted it as my bf is back from his country and it’s my 13th day on the pill and I’ve been crying non stop only because I have severe mental health issues and they are messing with my mind. I have a really bad case of ocd. I feel like a terrible partner and simply not worth it

My brain is super hyperactive

When I state “they” I mean the pills are messing with my mind

You have to adjust being on birth control all over again. It’s not recommended to stop and start again in such a short amount of time. It comes with the risk of blood clots. If you get off in the future make sure it’s for at least a year. Your hormones are going to be all over the place. Are you getting help for your mental health?

@Yi_eune I’ve been on several different antidepressants but discontinued them and have even sober from that for over a year now. Those things really messed with my head. I haven’t really gotten therapy but I might go for CBT which is recommended to me and my name was on the list too.

@Yi_eune I’m also stuck in the past too. So maybe CBT will help with that.
