I suffer from anxiety and depression and have recovered from self harm and an eating disorder. I tried going on the regular pill, but it messed with my emotions so much I ended up going into emergency almost daily for wanting to kill myself. I'm already quite moody (not bipolar), and the pill really made that worse. So I started looking for a non-hormonal form of contraception (other than a condom) and came across the copper IUD. I even went so far as to buy it and tried to set up an appointment to get it put in. But I've recently changed my mind because my S/O and I are worried that it could get implanted into my uterun wall and require surgery to get out. So I don't wanna risk that. A while ago my doctor asked me if I'd like to try the mini pill (with only one hormone in it) because it wouldn't react so bad to my emotions. But I'm also nervous because of side effects like weight gain and things like that. Also, I'm on a medication that is both an anti-depressant and an anti-anxiety med. So I'm not sure how I would react? What other forms of birth control could I try?
