I'm on birth control for an extended period for the first time. I'm currently going through a depressive episode. I really don't know if it's because of the medication or if my degree has just burned me out. I'm tired. I want to go to bed and stay there.

I really understand where you’re coming from. I’ve been on mine for 4 years and had the dose upped once and it only got worse for me personally. My major is burning me out but I want to love it because when I picked it. But I’m tired and the bed just sounds nice. But just know you’re not alone and that you can do this. Make sure to take mental health days for yourself. Check in with yourself and ask yourself if you’re really okay. Journalling isn’t for everyone but I do it when it calls me

It definitely is not easy when it’s like this. Please carve time out for yourself when you can for little self care things. Taking care of yourself can be difficult but it’s necessary even when you don’t want to or feel like you can’t. And if you ever just need a word of encouragement, please let me know. Life is a struggle but having someone in your ring can help 🫶
