Is it the pill or me ?

I have a history of anxiety & depression but I’m currently on the pill been trying different things for a while now went back on the pill been on it for 3 months & my moods are so shit! I have no energy for anything, I’m snappy I genuinely cba to talk to anyone even my kids at times which sounds horrible I know! I just feel constantly depressed the minute I get up I count down the hours until bedtime, it doesn’t help that I’m a sahm & im really finding that lonely & hard, with just having the same routine of nothing day in & out. My partner said to me today I’m so miserable all the time & it’s true I have no positivity or anything I just feel anxious & miserable, I’ve been unwell for a week and on antibiotics so I know that won’t be helping, I go for my pill check up tomoz & I’m debating what to do. I’d rather not be on any contraception at all tbh but obviously I need to be for obv reasons. My and my oh hardly have sex so it’s not even worth it but when we do we obv need to be careful. Sorry for the long post just contemplating if it’s the pill or it’s me & I need to perhaps go on anti depressants. Il mention to the nurse tomoz what I’ve said here.

Not to mention my weight gain but i have put that down to myself cuz im a fat pig and need to change my eating habits 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’d personally stop taking it. I haven’t been on contraception for the past 2 years since my daughter was born because it just doesn’t agree with me. We just use condoms instead x

It could be a mixture of both. I know the pill sent me completely off the rails when I was a teenager, I had undiagnosed depression and anxiety at the time. Definitely speak to your GP, there may be a suitable alternative for you.

You could always try non hormonal options too xx

I have decided to stop it, & I’ve cancelled my app tomoz as it was only for a check up app with the nurse. I’ve tried all sorts depo, different pills & I feel the same on them all. I want to be hormone free & I’m trying to get my partner to get the snip but here in uk it’s long waiting time x

Copper iud is non hormonal!

You can also track your cycles and avoid sex during ovulation:) worked for me for years.

I had nexplanon and the hormones made my depression symptoms sooo much worse. I would try a diff dose or pill
