I suffered with manic depression a few years back and I self harmed a lot and I was just in a really bad place. I was a virgin and completely free of birth control. I met my boyfriend in 2012 and we started having sex which resulted in me taking the combined pill. I've now been on it for nearly 4 years. I didnt think I've had side effects other than weight gain until very recently. I've been acting crazy recently. I've been depressed, suicidal, anxious and very over sensitive! I burst into a very loud crying fit yesterday because he was looking at my hair funny! Thing is, ever since I've taken the pill my anxiety has gotten worse. I worry about everything. But I know I suffered with this before I started taking the pill, I just feel like my mental health is worse than ever and I want to know if the pill has any effect on anyone?
