Nervous about life after birth control … 😒😣🤯

Due to a highly regrettable medical decision, I was placed on birth control & was told that it was a temporary measure. Now 7 years later & 100 lbs heavier, my OBGYN finally agreed to take me off it because of the weight gain & moderate/high depression it has given me. I’m getting off birth control in the hopes that it’ll help my mood & help me in my weight loss journey…

What should I do to calm my nerves? What has life been like for ladies off birth control?
