I do have to say there is a tw coming because I will likely mention past addictions I had

So I’ve been put on a pill called Slinda (white box purple/magenta design on it) and my friend who’s on it had no issues but ive had nothing but issues. I’ve been taking it for a week now and my anxiety is worse than ever. I feel like im not in control which often leads me to harming behaviours that I dont want to be in. They’re almost impossible to get out of and I dont know what to do. I cant talk to my parents or friends or anyone I know really because they’ll brush it off. I swear its not normal its gotten worse since taking those pills and it shouldn’t be. I really dont know what to do because while the habit is preventable it is very hard to actually resist when it offers so much. I genuinely need advice on what to do because its getting worse by the day.

I went to the doctor yesterday for a lot of nausea and burning in my throat (ended up just being a throat infection) but I mentioned my period (im on it right now.) for reference im a trans man and having endo while being trans just sucks so I asked about options. I had a male doctor who seemed to think I was either exaggerating or lying. I ended up getting put on the “mini-pill” aka “slinda drospirenone”. I cant take it until the day AFTER my period ends so im a bit nervous as I have never done well with tablets. The good thing is these pills are tiny (maybe half a centimetre through the middle) and im hoping it works. Fir anyone whos about to start takingit as well you get 24 white pills and 4 green ones. The pill is prescribed by doctors and you start taking it the day after your period. Take it every day within an hour of each pill (if you take the first one at 8:30pm take the second one the next day at around 8-9pm.) the green ones should line up with your period and when you run out of the green ones start taking the white ones again. Its supposed to shorten your period but im definitely scared. My periods are usually very heavy and cause a lot of pain and if this doesn’t help I dont have many other options.
