I started a new job a month ago and that just so happened to be when my birth control decided to screw with my emotions. I can barely hold it together already and I have the added stress of a new job and it being busy season. I don’t know what to do. I cry multiple times daily. I don’t know how to keep going.

Can you consult your dr, ask them what you can do and maybe stop your birth control until you normalize and then try something with less side effects?

I just came from the doctor and we are going to do that. I’m still concerned about my work performance. I feel really behind and filing is so soon I feel like I dropped the ball.

I am so sorry! This happened to me when I was on Junel. Try a different bc asap and do what you can to self care in the meantime. You will get through this!

This has happened to me as well
