Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I got the IUD recently, and it made things really rocky with my boyfriend because I got really severe mood swings, anxiety, and depression. I have struggled with all of these in the past, but for the last few months things were going great. Since the IUD, he has tried to end things and I know how cliche this is, but I don't know how to go on without him. He is the only person I trust enough to open up to and feel vulnerable around, but he isn't understanding my issues right now are due to the sudden hormone change/imbalance. I am freaking out, I am not sure if he is going to break up with me yet, and he won't speak to me and the anxiety is making me feel SO horrible.
Have you discussed the actual issue with him? Does he realize that a lot of this is out of your control? I will say, my husband (boyfriend at the time) had a rough time but knowing I was just as miserable with the side effects I think made him realize I couldn't help it. In the end.. I ended up having my birth control implant removed and it helped a lot.
i don't know why he can't see that it makes me just as miserable as it makes him. he's been ignoring me all day, and i was telling him i didn't feel safe and had been feeling like i didn't want to live anymore and he still isn't talking to me because he's hurt and i understand that, but it's like he can't see my side at all.
