birth control
"I spent 2 years on this medication. 2 years of my life I'll never get back. I thought the crippling exhaustion, anger, anxiety and depression were from being a working mom of a young child. For 2 years I had no libido, no desire to do anything other than sit on my couch. Cooking, cleaning, and simple things like playing with my child were nearly impossible. After a day at work I was too mentally fatigued to do anything.

Less than a month back on loestrin and it's like a light switch has been flipped. I'd rather bleed monthly and be happy."
