I'm just about to stop taking my hormonal BC for all of these reasons. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety when I was 14 and used just therapy until I was 21 and suicidal, where I turned to SSRIs - and mine works wonders I love it. But I went on BC for the first time about 8 months ago and my anxiety and depression sometimes feels worse than before I got on my anti-depressants and I have ZERO sex drive - or its very very rare I'm interested. It's causing a huge strain on my relationship with myself and my SO. I'm glad more people are talking about it because not everyone is the same. Yes, my "periods" are short and light with minor cramps when I used to have heavier flows. But I'll take heavier bleeding if it comes with my love of life returning!!
