one of my beliefs is that hormonal birth control is plausibly the greatest driver of unhappiness among modern american youth and certainly far more psychoactive than ppl realize but i dont know how to convince ppl of this and even talking abt it makes you seem weird so uh welp
main evidence for this is (i) lmao of course hormones affect your mood, in fact your body is extremely sensitive to levels; (ii) exogenous hormones are badly dosed and in particular not adjusted by weight;
(iii) sample size of only a few but every woman ive dated whos switched or stopped birth control at various points has undergone noticable personality changes whenever theyve changed hormonal method, including pills, hormonal iuds, implants, nuvaring, and nothing
if you use such birth control and can stop using it for a while give it a try and see how it affects your mood and general experience of life is my only advice
in particular see if you notice becoming less anxious, less neurotic, generally less cluster B
good luck
