This one is more for the ladies...
I recently started taking birth control again after being off it for a number of months when I was injured and couldn't remember to take it. When I went to go back on it, my Dr. switched me to a new kind that she said would be better for me because it has less hormones and is there fore easier on the body.
Well, before when I was on the pill I never had any of the side effects people told me about. But this new kind is totally messing with me.
I'm going completely nuts.. I'm super emotional and sensitive. I keep taking every little thing as a sign that people don't want me around. I feel like I am going to burst into tears at any given moment in the day. I can't take criticism at work. I slept with one of my friends who I actually quite like last weekend and ever since I have been convinced that him and all the other guys he hangs out with want me out of the group.. and I keep finding signs and evidence that that is the case, but the rational person in me sees the signs that it isn't true but I can't stop thinking it and it's driving me INSANE.
I've never been like this before... I've been depressed before, but I've never been this kind of crazy emotional wackjob! I don't know what to do! Has anyone else had this experience? How long does this go on ofr before I go back to normal? Will I go back to normal? Do I need to switch back to my old pills??

I have not taken birth control for many years... but I would say that you need to talk to your dr. about it.. I know hormone levels can drive you crazy.. I have had a hysterectomy SP) and my hormones are off the charts.. and I have a gun.... a bear with a gun............... it gets scary..
anyway.. I hope someone has a better answer for you.. hugs and luv though
So when it comes to the issue with my friends, I don't know wat to do about it. I don't want to talk to them about it because I'm worried they'll think I'm a friggin nutzo and it will scare them away (in particular, the one I slept with). I like this guy and I really like our mutual friends too (who happen to be his best friends) so I really don't want to screw this up by making him think I'm crazy...
But at the same time, I need to know what is going on ... I need to know if it is all in my head or not.
I can't take it!!!!!!!
I always thought SBOOM was a guy ......... (no offense) .......... omg ... I'm really sorry .................... weird how that works. (I'm a guy in case anyone thinks I'm a girl).
Anyway, my GF went off that stuff entirely because it made her friggen NUTZ (like worse than normal) ........................
A lot of people on here thought I was a dude for a long time... understandable.. both the name and pic are pretty gender-neutral, and I don't communicate in characteristically "feminine" fashion... so makes sense.
