Im not sure if I should post this here, but I am in desperate need of help. About 5 months ago, my girlfriend of almost three years had the mirena iud inserted (we are both 22). Everything was normal at first- though she did complain about severe cramping, bloating, and some acne. About 6 weeks ago, she broke up with me (sort of...) only two weeks before our 3 year anniversary. She called me crying saying she couldn't be with me but couldn't imagine me not in her life. I was frustrated and hung up on her because this was the second time id heard her say these things in a two week period- and I've never imagined her saying them prior to that. I thought she was just upset or anxious. The next day, she blocked my number. It took her over a month to finally contact me. When she did, she calmly and flatly said that she just needs to be alone and that she broke up with me a month ago even though she was not this explicit. She claims she was a terribly girlfriend and a terrible person (both insanely untrue) and that she needs to be her own person and "maybe we'll find our way back together".

She refuses to really talk to me. I've had one phone conversation with her in the past 7 weeks- after talking to each other every day for the past three years- and she seemed so flat and distant. Today is her birthday and she would not even respond to my birthday wishes. This is a girl who, not three months ago in June, talked to me about how excited she was to marry me in the future and have a life together (she always used to be like this). We were incredibly in love to the point that we would have people assume we had just started dating and we're still in the "honeymoon" phase. She was so excited about our anniversary in the beginning of the summer. Her family and I are extremely close and I have since spoken to her mother and brother. They both don't understand it and hope she "wakes up" soon (her mom used to refer to me as her "future son in law" and my girlfriend loved it).

I should also mention that she tried hormonal BC once before two years ago- she experienced two months of terrible panic attacks and anxiety because of it. She said she had unwanted thoughts about our relationship that told her to break up with me. We got through it and she knew that time it was only the anxiety.

I really don't know what to do. I want to bring up the possibility that the iud is causing her internal emotional distress, but I'm not sure how to bring it up- she refuses to listen. I just see so many others that have experienced this and need help as to what to do. She is the love of my life and I never imagined her doing this. When I say she is a different person it is an understatement. Is there any hope of having her realize that her change is due to the IUD?
