Sorry if this isn't the right place but I need some advice.
I recently got a new boyfriend and we had unprotected sex and I took the Morning After Pill. In the following months my anxiety really was terrible, I was convinced I had HIV (I take yearly tests), Syphillis and all the things that could possibly make my healthy (also has yearly tests) boyfriend ill. I would worry about constantly, I am one of those lucky people who can sleep when anxious.
Overthinking is a serious problem and I have had this since I was 12, I am now 25. I have never received treatment and feel like this should change.
Anyway, I am starting to take a progestin only pill, a different progestin to the one in Plan B, I took this before when I was younger and I have always had problems with irritability and mood swings and didn't feel this particular brand exacerbated it.
I need to take this pill, if I don't we will have unprotected sex anyway (heat of the moment) and I will take the morning after pill.
My question is, I need to take control of this overthinking and mood swings anyway. Any advice to counteract the effects of the pill? The effects that i feel are in my head anyway since I always have this!
