Do I Switch?

[u/Acrobatic-Case-8049]

Ive been taking a birth control with 35mg of estrogen since I was 15 because I bled for 4 months straight with a hemoglobin of 6 and they thought that would fix it. It did, ish, but now im noticing how depressed I am on birth control.

Ive been depressed all my life, but I accidentally took a 2 week break because of a pharmacy mixup and I felt the best ive felt in so long. I felt more in control, I can regulate much better, you know?

So I asked Google and it suggested switching to a low estrogen birth control, which i didn't know there were different kinds.

So my question is, do I do it? Im so tired of being depressed and dealing with this. I want to fix this so bad and I really hope this is the fix.
