I had my first appointment with a new OBGYN last Friday. I know his advice is right but I had my mind so confident in one way but now I am back to feeling a little lost again.
A little backstory….after my youngest was born in 2019 I gave birth control a try again hoping it would help. Instead it would throw me into a full-blown anxiety attack for no apparent reason. One minute, I was just sitting there and then my heart was racing, my mind was spiraling and screaming that something was wrong… terribly wrong…but nothing was wrong. It was like my body hit the panic button and the culprit was that mini pill.
To be honest…I am TERRIFIED to try taking the pill again with the way it made me feel however that is the treatment route my new doctor said he traditionally recommends followed by the SSRIs.
There are other options to try that I was ready to talk about however they are a last resort and we aren’t there yet. (I am haha anything for relief but I understand).
I have an appt with my GP on the 18th of this month and then will go back to the OBGYN on the 17th of April. He told me that my headspace needed to be more positive before trying a birth control and I respect and appreciate him for that. So now I will do my research and get my mind in a better place! I will share what I find!
That is all
With Love
