How do I cope after stopping hormonal birth control?

I (29F) recently went off hormonal birth control after being on it for 12 years and I feel like I'm going crazy 😢 My emotions are all over the place and I feel so dysregulated. It probably doesn't help that I also went cold turkey on cannabis after being a frequent user for 10+ years. I know that there's a lot going on in the world right now and it feels incredibly silly/trivial that I'm asking for support but I'm struggling. Would truly appreciate any words of wisdom or encouragement or to hear stories if anyone else has experienced this too ❤️ Sorry if this is not formatted correctly etc. I'm a first time reddit poster.

Thank you in advance and here's a joke as tax:

Did you hear about the cheese factory that exploded in France?

P.s. I’ve already talked to my doctor & therapist and I’m not looking for medical advice, just trying to find community 🫶🏼
