For starters i am 24 years old, I’ve been on birth control consistently since I was 14 years old. My mom thought it was the best option for me because she feared I’d get pregnant young like she did… I ended up finding out I also have PCOS so the birth control has helped regulate it or so I’ve been told. But i feel that I’ve been on it for so long I don’t know what I’m like emotionally without out it, birth control has really taken me through a rough ride all of these years, I’ve been depressed numerous times and was even on medication for my depression for a year & I finally feel that I’m at an age where I can make the decision to stop taking it. I guess I’m asking should I tell my mom? Or just not mention it because I know she will not be on board because I am in a relationship of over a year btw and she automatically will think it’s so I can get pregnant… pregnancy isn’t something I’m planning for but if it were to happen I also wouldn’t be upset about it , I feel that I’m old enough to handle whatever responsibilities come my way, I just don’t think she will understand my reasoning because she doesn’t see an issue with birth control, but sometimes it scares me I’ve been in it so long if I’d have a bad reaction to getting off of it…. what do you guys think? 😩
