The mirena has been a "sore" point. I got it because I cannot have any other form of hormonal contraception and I was going batshit insane 9 days of the month due to hormonal changes. I did go inpatient for around 3 months all up over the initial 9 months of having it. I still don't feel ok but it is better than going ridiculously suicidal for 9 days a month every month on top of bipolar which was triggered by all this again after 4 years stable.

We tried everything I had access to from the simplicity of diet and vitamins to AP AD and benzo combinations. The best the doctors can offer me if I get the mirena out, is the safety of inpatient every month. So I feel stuck.
