Skipped my usual 7-day break for 2 months and now my mood is a mess. Am I insane?
I’ve been taking a combined birth control pill for years and usually do the standard 7-day break every month without any major emotional issues. However, over the last two months, I decided to skip the placebo week and continuously take active pills without a break.
Ever since then, I’ve noticed a significant increase in anxiety, mood swings, just emotional parkour all day. I feel sensitive, sad, overwhelmed, and mentally all over the place.
Nothing else in my routine has changed, so I’m starting to wonder if continuously taking the pill instead of doing my usual monthly break could be the culprit.
Has anyone else experienced anxiety or mood changes after skipping the withdrawal week on combined birth control? Did things improve after going back to your normal schedule?
Please help
