I stopped taking birth control
I have been on birth control for a year now but had to push back my OBGYN apointment at the begining of the month. My birth control prescription ran out and I havent taken birth control in 2 weeks. since then I have been more emotional and my sex drive has increased. The other day, it felt everytime my boyfriend opened his mouth I got upset and bawled. He didnt say anything negative or abusive. He's confused as to why Ive been moody and as have I. I came up with a theory that I could have seasonal depression because usually about this time when it transitions from spring to summer for the past 3-4 years now I've gotten severely depressed and anxiety through the roof. and I have exhibited similar simularities. I have never been diagnosed with anything so I dont know for sure. Today however I thought that maybe since I stopped taking birth control that probably messed up my hormones and my emotions are out of wack. I called my doctor to try and start up my prescription so hopefully I get back on birth control soon again. Anyway, has anyone else experienced mood changes when stopping birth control? or am I being dramatic?
