I have felt so irritable, impatient, sensitive, I take everything so personally, I cannot express myself without being blamed for being dramatic, extra, or a sensitive person who can’t take a joke.

I think I’m just reaching a breaking point. I don’t have issues expressing myself until it is necessary. I usually try my best to hold back and go with the flow and then express my feelings if ongoing issues arise. And when I do voice a concern/ opinion, I just have to learn to take the joke cause that’s what everyone else does…. the jokes are usually about my autism, not catching things, or being called dumb… I’m sorry if I don’t always laugh at the same couple of jokes.

I also feel like I don’t have a reliable support system. I didn’t have any friends growing up and it’s only gotten worse since. I often blame my mood adjustment disorder, autism, and I’m currently in the process of possibly getting another diagnosis (OCD).

Weird question, but could you see illnesses, disorders, or disabilities in birth charts?

I needed a place to get things off my chest, thank you for reading. F 24.

I was on June 1.25mg from August 2021 to mid March 2025. I had to get off due to ongoing headaches. I am 5’5, and I was 105lbs when I first started Junel. I actually loved being on Junel. It cleared my skin tremendously and I had 4 day long periods every 28 days. Unfortunately I did notice a little bit of weight gain (from 105lb to 110 bs, nothing too crazy) hair loss, hair texture changed, and ultimately, I had to switch pills due to ongoing weekly migraines.

In late March 2025, I switched to Nora Be 0.35mg. My physician recommended Nora Be as I didn’t plan to get pregnant anytime soon and wanted the least amount of hormones as possible, and I wanted some form of protection. Getting on Nora Be was quite possibly the worst thing I could’ve done to myself. I would get random cystic acne, I stopped having periods, I went from 110 lbs to 135lb in less than a year, I was always so exhausted, I was grumpy, I was emotional, I felt absolutely nothing for anyone - not even my loved ones - I didn’t love them anymore.

I got off Nora Be in mid February 2026. I still needed a form of protection, so I got the paraguard inserted mid March 2026. I haven’t had a period yet. I’ve had brown blood clots come out for 57 days, then I had a nice flow for 2 days and now I’m back to brown blood clots (it is day 68).

Sorry if this is TMI but when I wipe and put the tip of my finger *up there*, the blood is bright red, but my blood comes out chunky and brown on my pad.

I know it’s only been a little over 2 months but I’m getting really impatient and discouraged about this process.

Any advice for weight loss or paraguard in general?

When will it get better?

What is going on with me?

When did things get better?
