Thinking of getting my Mirena removed

I'm thinking of getting my Mirena removed. I'm a little over 3 months in and it helped so much with my cramps and PMDD, but I've been bleeding for most of that 3 months. And not just spotting, it's like a period. I have about 2 to 3 days a month where I'm not bleeding. I'm iron deficient so it's very worrying to me that I'm bleeding so much. I had a very low level of iron so I lost a lot of my hair year last year and it's started to grow back, but now I'm starting to lose more hair.

But the past two weeks were crazy. I started my period on the 18th and it continued through yesterday. It was very heavy this week and my PMDD was so bad.

The bleeding was annoying but I can't deal with the mental effects. It's been better today but it's still there. I'm not sure if this is a one off but if the PMDD doesn't stop I'm going to have it removed because I just don't think it's worth it.

How does this situation keep getting worse?

Throw away account because apparently my boss found all my reddit accounts.

I really feel like I'm losing it. Long story short, my boss told me almost 2 months ago that he has feelings for me. He first told my coworker, then told me, then HR who had to bring in the owners. Ever since then, he had just become a different person. We had worked very closely for months, I've come to know him well and I thought we were a really good team. After all this happened, he started randomly being out of office, acting erratic to the point where my teammates kept asking what is up with him. He wouldn't talk to me face to face or reply to any of my messages which made me feel like I did something wrong.

He was out for a week, back for a few days then out for 2 weeks. This man worked 60hr weeks so his behavior was so incredibly odd. Near the end of his 2 weeks, he called me to tell me he had been stalking me since my husband passed away, which was last May. He was having serious paranoid delusions from the things he was telling me. He was waiting for the cops to come to his house because he thought I called them, he thought the FBI was into him, all sorts of stuff. He told me he found my Reddit profiles which freaked me out because I post NSFW stuff that I have been having trouble dealing with since my husband passed away. There are a lot of things that I haven't shared with anyone irl except my husband.

Fast forward a week, he ends up in a mental facility. His dad got involved and apparently called the company one day frantically asking about health insurance information. So this was already upsetting, because I was wondering if he tried to take his life or what happened to make his dad so frantic. During all this, they fired my CEO and CFO, brought on this massively intense new leadership team, and now this other dude is filling in for my boss. He SUCKS and we miss our boss. They are cracking the whip so hard. Our old leadership team was so chill that it's such a massive change for us to try to get used to. My whole team is trying so hard to get new jobs because we can't take it.

So my boss has now been in this facility for about a week and a half, all hell is breaking loose, it just does not stop. It finally came out that he told me he had feelings for me, and now everyone is saying that's the only reason I got promoted. This girl I work with told me that's the huge rumor going around at lunch today. I worked very hard for years and I feel I really deserved that promotion. I have not slept at all this week being so stressed under all these deadlines, and this is only making it worse. I'm trying hard to get another job but I'm a data engineer, which basically all work is being outsourced to AI. I will probably have to take a pay cut just to get out of here, which is hard on me because I worked so hard to get where I am.

My coworker, the one who has also been involved just called me and told me how much he's struggling too. We're both struggling mentally, the company feels like it's going downhill and I don't know where to go from here. I've been having a really rough time and it seriously feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. I'm not gonna do anything drastic I just feel so helpless in this entire situation.
