Hello, I'm not sure anyone has ever been through this, so Ill ask. Apparently my parents think that my anxiety, ocd and depression is worse the week before my period, the week during my period and the week after my period. They've told me to speak to my gyn about this and I did. She suggested birth control to regulate my hormones. With this BC I'll only get my period 4 times a year. That part sounds great. But I've spent a little time looking up the medicine online and the side effects some people have are worrying me. I have severe health anxiety so once I get an unusual ache or pain/ side effect, then I'll be back to square one running back and forth to hospitals and not being able to go to school. Has anyone ever dealt with this before?
