"originally started as a means to treat cystic acne and alleviate period cramps. anxiety runs in my family, but i&#039;ve never had it severely until i started taking this birth control. it&#039;s been three months and a few days into the fourth pack, and i&#039;ve had enough. i went from someone who&#039;s never broken down about last minute assignments to someone who cries everyday for no discernible reason and can&#039;t manage even the simplest classwork. 



i also started off completely fine with my fwb, but now i&#039;ve become dependent and paranoid even though he&#039;s one of my closest friends and i never had these issues before. it&#039;s like i&#039;m a different person entirely, and i hate it."
