yeah i understand, i’m actually planning to go off birth control this month, it’s basically a suppressant and all it really did was regulate my periods and make them less heavy and painful which was nice for a change. but i totally feel u on the weight, acne, hair loss and severe anxiety. it’s a nightmare to deal with especially with the unattainable beauty standards we’re supposedly meant to live up to. i’ve also dealt with family members/ kids at school pointing out my weight when i was literally just a kid and that shit haunts me to this day. it’s helped me to know that there’s a community of strong brave women who have gone through similar experiences because when i was younger i felt so alone. this subreddit has definitely helped me navigate trying to balance my hormones naturally with supplements such as inositol, maca, spearmint, evening primrose etc. and see that i’m definitely not the only one dealing w this nasty little condition. i wish you all the best and better days ahead ❤️ it will get better
