Birth control and intrusive thoughts
Just started birth control again after like 5+ years (stopped taking it so long ago precisely bc of ocd…) but I decided to give it a try since my cycle has been hella irregular recently. The first week is not even over and today felt excruciating bc of my intrusive thoughts. I’ve also been taking anxiety meds for a while now and have actually seen improvement w/ intrusive thoughts, but then today boom they hit me like a truck. I am terrified that I will have a flare up again like I literally cant afford it rn. I finally have a job that I like and Im about to pick up school again in a couple months. I guess my question is, should I keep giving the birth control a try? (Sorry for long post!)
