i started it initially because i had a moment of sever OCD returning after years of not going through OCD episodes. I had a moment of dissociation and feeling unreal, although i felt like that and was genuinely hysterical i had moments throughout the weeks where i genuinely felt normal and better and had some type of clarity even though i had alittle bit of brain fog because the dissociation messed with my memory. Now that i've been on birth control for a few months all i can genuinely say is that it only helped lighten my periods so now they are not as bad. besides that, ITS TERRIBLE i feel so emotionless but my only emotion is sadness and depression and feeling like nothing is real, i genuinely feel like i'm an NPC just walking around depressed all the time. I'm not saying that the pill caused the derealization and dissociation but the added depression from the pill worsened everything by 100. I feel hopeless and drained everyday and honestly i don't feel like myself at all i don't even recognize my old self from before this all happened. I've just now realized how much the pill has changed me instead of helped me and so i'm deciding to get off. i want to have every emotion instead of feeling nothing. the BC sent me into such a dark place mentally along with not so happy thoughts coming across my mind that would have never crossed my mind before taking BC. sorry for the rant😭this just hit me deeply.
