I’m starting to think I really need to get another health insurance quote. I feel like going to the school about my anxiety will end up doing more harm than good. They just aren’t terribly helpful there.
I’ve been checking out things on my own and some other issues I’ve been having tie in pretty neatly with my anxiety. It could all stem just from the anxiety, it could be due to my current birth control pills, or it could be that I’m hypoglycemic–which, based on my diet is a possibility.
I’m anxious more often than not, I’m always thirsty for water even moments after taking a swig, about twice a week (at least) I’ll get really weak AFTER eating and my circulation appears to be crap right now.
I know I have a tendency to be a bit hypochondriatic (yeah that’s not even a word, whatever) so when looking at all this stuff, I only really paid attention to symptoms I had previously noted to talk to the doctor about.
I had never even considered it being my pills. I was actually looking up coupons for them since they’re so expensive when I ran into forums where people were discussing their experiences with different pills and was just really surprised to see all the same problems I was having being associated with my pills. I never really realized just how much affect the change in hormones could have. I have no choice but to see a doctor this month for my pap, so when I go in I’m changing pills (again *cries). For one, these are too expensive. I can’t afford $60 a month. Also, after all this time, they’re just making everything more erratic. Maybe they’re also to blame for my other problems. I’m not counting on that though and I’m keeping a list of things to talk about when I’m there. I want them to go ahead and check for diabetes and hypoglycemia since I always get asked about those when I talk about problems I’m having. I’ve been checked more than once for diabetes and there’s no history of it in my family, but it doesn’t hurt to be sure.
I’m undecided yet whether or not I want to go ahead and ask for anxiety medication, or if I want to wait a month or so off this pill to see if that helps.
I just want to feel ‘right’ again.

Nuvaring is my fav birth control. Some clinics can sell it at a discount, and I don’t notice such a big drop in my horomones when I’m on a off week. Birth control can have a very BIG effect on your mental well being.
