Etonogestrel
birth control
"Okay so Nexplanon is useful in the sense that you're safe from pregnancy etc. But what it's done to me mentally is not pleasant in the slightest. I go through 2 week periods of feeling completely myself and then suddenly drop into these phases of chronic anxiety and exhaustion. I  have intrusive thoughts that do not help my anxiety in the slightest and I just feel so isolated from everyone. My mum had told me that I'm not myself anymore and that's just the hardest thing to hear because I've noticed it too. I'm usually energetic, enthusiastic and bubbly but during these periods I have no motivation. I'm getting it out in a few days, I just need to be myself again, I hate feeling like this and cannot cope any longer."
