23F. I want to get off birth control. I have heard so many stories about it making you depressed, anxious, and generally crazy. I know I'm an adult and in charge of my own body but my mom would be furious if I got my Nexplanon stick taken out, and I'm scared of her telling me I'm just being impulsive. I have had it for 6 years now (gotten it changed every 3), ever since I was 17. I just want to see if I would feel better, I hate the idea that I might have a chemical in my body making me more crazy. 

I don't trust my own desires or decisions because I don't know if I'm being impulsive or if my feelings are valid or making a "smart decision."
