| 1 | Heavy periods / pregnancy prevention | Nausea., dizziness , extreme anxiety / panic attacks. Fatigue, irritability. Nervousness , chest pains , cold hand sweats, vision disturbances, hard to focus , muscle weakness, slight depression. Acne , etc. | I have only had 1 shot back in December. I am due for a second shot next month which I WILL NOT be getting. When first getting the shot I only experienced slight nausea. Then I noticed I felt decently ill all the time. I am now going with withdrawals I believe, coming off this is the worst. I have visual disturbances like light and my eyes not being able to really focus on much. I am extremely dizzy every day now. Loss of appetite. I now have extreme anxiety & panic attacks to the point I literally cannot be alone with my son during the day now due to feeling like I'm going to pass out , have a stroke or heart attack. I already have pre existing heart conditions so it really makes my anxiety go through the roof. I haven't had panic attacks like this since high school when I got my first anxiety attack. I am now unable to drive. I feel like I'm so wrapped in with this ans the racing thoughts and anxiety that I'm beginning to feel alone & isolated and like I'm losing connection with my son. I've had so many panic attacks at home that home does rn feel like home anymore. I feel so disconnected from everyone. This is absolutely terrifying and makes me scared I'm going to go crazy. I have just been praying & praying & staying in the word of God and praying over this anxiety. I have absolutely no sex drive. Muscle pain & spasms , h | F | 24 | 3 months 1 1X D | 2/20/2023 | |
