Your teenager has Jasmine with depression, suicide attempts, and therapists spent. And with the anti-baby pill. Since she has stopped taking the pill finally, your super. Here she tells her story.
Jasmine is 20 years old and has reported on a Facebook call. I’ve been looking for a women suffering from depression and thoughts of suicide or suffered. And to bring this mental suffering, taking the anti-baby pill.
In the group “Generation pill” I’ll find it. The group has more than 6000 members. Some of them contact me and want to tell. Of the mental valleys that, for years, wandered. The therapies and antidepressants, and should help and often not helped.
Jasmine’s story is representative of the stories of these women. And it stands for the result of two scientific studies, that depression and a higher risk of suicide side effects of the pill can be.
“I was just eleven years old when my rule began bleeding. I always had serious pain in the abdomen. When I was 14, my mom took me then to the gynecologist to get the pill to prescribe.
By bullying I was pre-occupied mentally. After I started to take the pill, I got increasingly depressed. At the time, I have not pushed the still on the pill.
But to me, it went from day to day worse, I had frequent thoughts of suicide and have even made suicide attempts. Finally, I ended up in the locked psychiatric ward. There, the diagnosis: adjustment disorders was. I spent three weeks in the hospital, an outpatient psychotherapy followed.
After one and a half years of treatment, my therapist said that she could do nothing more for me and I should better go now. We finished the therapy. About a year and a half went well.
In the summer of 2016, however, it was worse again. I constantly had mood swings. I have hurt myself. I had no real sense and didn’t know what to do with me. A friend of mine, who suffers himself under the Borderline, advised me to let me examine.
So I went to study in the day clinic in Cologne, Germany. There it turned out I had symptoms of eight of the nine Borderline. Because it was there, but not a free therapy place, I was redirected to Mannheim. There I made at the beginning of 2017 for two weeks, a more in-patient therapy.
No pill, no symptoms
The competent therapist there asked me why I was even there. I had no symptoms. I fell also. In this time, the thought occurred to me for the first Time, that my condition could possibly be related to the pill. I had dropped in the two weeks of inpatient therapy, because I didn’t want to think at this time every day to have a tablet to swallow.
I had expressed my suspicions about the therapist. She suggested that I check my presumption and the pill to at home should still try. It should go to me this worse, she advised me that the pill remove.
I have followed your advice, I came home and took the pill again. Not even a week later it went with my Psyche downhill again. The mood swings returned, as well as the depression and suicidal thoughts.

Hormones, Hormones, Hormones …
My doctor advised me to get off the pill and me for an alternative method of contraception around. His proposals were the syringe, the Three-month, the hormone sticks or hormone patch.
I thought: If I have with the pill is already such problems, then all other hormonal contraceptives are bad either just the same or even worse effects. That’s why I switched in August of last year on the copper spiral. Since then, I have stopped taking the pill in February 2018 final, is it me super.
My first cycle after Stopping long was 102 days. In this time, I was always a bit afraid that my days could come in any inappropriate Moment. Also, I had just under nine months, pretty severe hair loss. But I just waited and then it was over, all of a sudden.
I don’t think it’s important to trust Doctors blindly. The pill is not a contraceptive per se. About possible side effects must be adequately informed. How often I’ve heard that the pill has no great effect on the body. But, of course she did! The pill shuts down basically the entire cycle of their own. Now I think, so tire in the hormone balance, gross negligence.”
