it is not you, it is not you, it is mirena. i am sobbing as i type this because i had mirena, it turned me into a horrible monster. i hated myself every minute of everyday, i could not go in my kitchen alot of times because there were knives in there. i could not be around anything sharp at all. i have three children that i love, they are the only reason i did not do it. i got mine out february 26th. i happened to be on my period which was a good thing. i feel like my body has been cleansed. i wake up now ecstatic about life. i love myself now. my anxiety is gone. my joint pain is gone. my symptoms are gone. i am like the old me before any birth control. i love life now, even though my husband and i are not so good right now. it is not you. you are not alone.
