Does anyone get anxiety/depression during their period due to their birth control!? I never had an issue with my birth control until I had an IUD (Paragard) inserted. I am thinking about switching to Mirena
I know it can happen with the pill since I remember being scared that happened to me, but for me it ended up being just all the other factors in my life lol not sure if it happens with IUDs tho Sometimes I do feel more anxious or stressed during my period
Oh also just remembered usually it’s a minor increase and rarely significant from what I heard (with the pill) but you might want to try asking your doctor if you haven’t already if in your case it can increase a lot suddenly
I've always had it like the day before my period, without any birth control. It makes me feel like a different person and I gotta remind myself it's just my period coming lol.

: I mean you know bits of my stress from last year so while I was constantly thinking my birth control was causing my anxiety, realistically it was just my whole life being a mess since I stopped for about a month recently and nothing seemed to change significantly. I've always heard it's rare that it happens but if it's really the pill then
usually it's like a drastic difference that you'd notice? But I mean I'm not a doctor obviously so don't take my word for it, but it is different for everyone.
