I Took The Pill For Four Years. I’m Still Dealing With The Damage It Did
This is a topic that I personally feel very attached to. Birth control, in my opinion, has played a huge role in my life for about 10 years now. Ever since I started the pill, it has negatively impacted my health (mind, body, and spirit).
First, I would like to make it clear that I realize that birth control can be a tool for many people, whether they're trying to avoid getting pregnant or dealing with health issues that birth control helps alleviate. This post is just a personal story based on my own negative experiences with birth control. Please keep in mind that I am NOT a doctor, and I don't have the right to tell anyone what the “correct” thing to do is. I do, however, feel that I have the right to share my own experiences surrounding this topic. I can only speak from my own point of view and hope that sharing my story helps shed some light on a birth control-related issue that is seldom talked about.
