I hate how the pill makes me feel but I don’t want to get off it. I took a break a few years back and I felt great. BUT. For two years following getting off it I had the worst hormonal acne, like I’m talking poster child bad hormonal acne. I’m so scared that would happen again. I got back on the pill following that, a different one which specifically helps with acne; it all went away and I have the clearest skin I’ve ever had now. I hated looking in the mirror so much and I can’t stand the idea of going through that again because that too took a huge toll on my mental health. Everything else about the pill in my experience is great, the benefits are so great, like, I like having sex with my boyfriend too, the easy periods. But it messes with my head so bad. Is there any kind of solution? Or am I just trying to have my cake and eat it too?
