Is birth control worth a try

So I’ve recently come to believe that I may have a form of anxiety I’m waiting to get checked, but I’m mainly more anxious and have attacks when I’m on my period or about to start. If this sounds stupid trust me I feel stupid writing this because I’m not just looking to take birth control for anxiety I also have super bad cramps to where I sleep with a hot pad on high all night, I wake up sometimes in pain and much more. I just wanted to see if anyone is willing to talk with me if you had anxiety and birth control helped you, since I would hate taking actual anxiety medications that can be very addicting.
