I'm also moving again after living in my apartment for only a year so I feel all this so hard

Honestly I'm so glad one of my favorite CZcamsrs (you obviously) is talking about this. Funny coincidence, I'm going to my doctor for exactly the same thing next week! It's very reassuring to hear someone else going through this, and that it's going well for you!

Thank you for mentioning Chappel Roan, I had never heard of her. Amazing voice and artist!

Hi Sarah, thanks for sharing so openly about your situation. I have PCOS myself and I was told not to stop the pill as the hormone imbalance might damage my ovaries on top of other symptoms that can occur. As I have spoken to different doctors about this and all of them told me more or less the same, I never considered stopping it. I was now surprised to learn that one can stop taking the pill even with PCOS. Anyway, it is great to hear that you are feeling better when taking it and I wish you all the best🤗.

It's awesome when you find something that works, also right on for setting boundaries ❤

I usually love summer, but I do feel bad when I say that I hate summer heat, cuz in Michigan we have long winters...but I'm a fall girly too lol. I'm 10 weeks pregnant right now so it's been extra hard, with the FOMO of not being outside all the time but also not WANTING to be most of the day. I prefer summer evenings. So I commiserate with you there.

I wish that hormonal birth control worked for me the same way that it works for others. I get all the negative side effects, and it is not worth the small positive effects. I even tried an IUD because the hormonal IUD has the hormones localized instead of systemic, but even that, I had those same negative side effects. I am so jealous of the people who have a good experience with it. Happy for you that you found something that works for you!

I live in the Midwest and we had a nice cathartic summer storm yesterday and last night and it was SO nice

babe i also have pmdd and the continuous pill has saved me. i was literally suic*dal for so much of the month. proud of u ❤️

The midwest just had a massive thunderstorm yesterday that came with tornado watches. I love booming thunder that shakes the house. AK has several fires currently which could possibly delay me getting there for work.

being on the pill genuinely changed my life. that sounds dramatic but it eliminated my terribly heavy and painful periods, helped with my mild hormonal acne and most importantly, largely got rid of my PMDD and associated suicidal thoughts. be your own advocate and do what is best for you, always ❤ it isn’t the best option for everyone, but for some people, it is 🥰

I am on the pill for 6 years now and I could not go back, but the acne side effect I have makes me feel bad sometimes... I am trying to find a solution, hope to find it soon❤

I’m so glad you’re doing what’s best for YOU!! That’s the most important thing!

I have been on a low estrogen Yasmine pill for 25 yrs, it really helped me with ovulation cramps in my ovaries and horrible menstrual cramps. I would be in pain for 2 weeks! I think the pill is a personal choice and not everyone gets the extreme adverse side effects. If you feel better, it’s the right choice for you. Don’t let anyone judge you for meditation needs.

I use the patch and I absolutely love it. I only have to remember it once a week and I have extremely painful periods and I’ve been skipping them for years and it’s great.

not a horrorstory, but my friend feels so much better when taking the pill, so go for it :) you know your body best

I love Chappell Roan too! It's been a while since I've been so invested in a new pop star! I can't pick one favorite song but my top 6 in no particular order are: After Midnight, Red Wine Supernova, Casual, Pink Pony Club, Naked In Manhattan, and My Kink Is Karma.

This video came at such a good time for me! I started the pill 4 days ago and have also been avoiding reading any stories about it. I appreciate the positivity, and the reassurance that if this doesn’t work there are other options!

Love the pill. Been on it for 11 years now. I understand it's not for everyone but it genuinely made me a happier person and helped a lot with my anxiety. I'll have to come off it to have children in the future but you can bet I'll be hopping right back on it when I'm done! 😁I owe so much to it.

glad you found something that works for you

Does the foundation smell the same as it did before? Kind of medicinal I think?

I’m sooooo glad you’re feeling better!! ❤❤❤

I think After Midnight is my favorite CR song, too! It's such a great one. 😸 I'm so sorry you guys have to move again, but I'm glad you'll have the peace of mind of a mold-free home. 💜 And I'm definitely selfishly looking forward to all the moving content! 😅 I'm also so happy for you that you're feeling better and more energized. You deserve it, girl! Wishing you the best always. 🌻✨

Not sure how you would update this but I’m curious to know how your IUD removal goes. I thought I needed to get mine replaced earlier this year but my doctor said new research showed I could keep it in another couple years, which I was relieved about but also I know later I’ll eventually need to get it replaced and I also am not looking forward to having it touched in any way 😅 also good luck I hope it goes well!!!

I'm so glad I came across this video, because for some reason I didn't get a notification for it. 😕 I've noticed that's happened to a couple videos from other creators as well lately. So annoying, and I'm sure frustrating for you. I just wanted to give you a heads up though, so you know it's happening on this video. 💜

The pill saved my life shortly after I started menstruating. There will be no horror stories from me about it ever.

If the pill is helping you generally then do it! I’ve taken it for years, stopped when I had kids, some pills agreed with me more than others but no major issues. It’s been around for so many years, imo there are many newer things out there that freak me out. I have more iud negative stories I’ve heard actually. And it’s helped my pms related anxiety, like you I too have thought I’m so distracted, adhd? Ultimately I do think I get anxious and distracted honestly. And twinsies I’m on the same one I just started as well because I had had a baby recently. I just wouldn’t worry about it personally, I’ve been on the pill probably for 15 years plus no major issues, not this one specifically, but at worst it doesn’t agree with you and you’ll switch to another one.

I also have pcos and the pill was so helpful for me to regulate everything. That blush is gorgeous on you.

I don’t mind a squeeze tube lip balm or gloss. Mine don’t get messy the way you were describing. I just don’t squeeze out a lot at a time, that way there’s no excess product left on it.

I was so sad when I got that throat irritation with the Naturium balm. 😭😭 So glad you are feeling well! ❤️

Getting the IUD taken out is NO problem at all! Don’t stress! I was so worried because it hurt going in but getting it taken out didn’t hurt at all

My favorite Chappell Roan songs are Coffee and California, I love to sing them and just immerse in the emotion of it all.

Pink Pony Club makes me cry

I'm the opposite. I can honestly say I hate Fall. It's cold, rainy, and pitch black at 5 pm. I like being warm...and there's always a/c. I love that it's light outside until 8 pm. And everyone is extra social in warm weather.

I stayed on the pill for years! It helped me transition to menopause, and would not have done anything different. So sorry you have to move. But it's definitely best to move if there is mold. That can do so much damage to your health.😢

I feel like doe foots are grosser than squeezie tube lip products. You really can't clean off a doe foot.

The pill has been around for so long, there is so much data on it, people shouldn't be worried. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right one but it's really does help with quality of life.

Everyone's biology is different. One person's horror story could be the cure for another person. It 's good to know to look out for signs but it does not mean it applies to you unless you relate. and really, how many people are put there writing reviews saying "yup I'm on it, works. nbd"

I feel the same way about summer!!! I’ve always said I have seasonal depression in the summer haha. Nice to hear someone else feels the same way.

Do you have an air purifier? I bought one to improve the air quality in my home. I'm always congested and my kitty too is suffering from allergy congestion and the purifier is definitely helping!

I got my copper iud taken out earlier this week and it was not bad at all! Less than 5 mins of pain and minimal cramping

I hardly ever comment on anyone's videos, but I can feel your energy through the screen! If being on birth control is helping you, THAT'S AMAZING, and I can see it. You sound so much more enthusiastic, and I feel like your true personality really shined through in this video. Happy for you!!

I also went back on the pill for mental health and acne reasons, and its been good to me so far. Eventually I'll get another hormonal IUD, I think. Also, have you considered autism as a differential diagnosis for ADHD? It's really quite under-diagnosed, especially in people raised as female. I'm autistic with GAD, and also without ADHD so thats why it comes to mind for me. For many years I thought I had ADHD, turns out I dont lol

I don't usually comment on videos but omg, I'm only partly thru and I have so many thoughts 😅 No horror stories here tho! When I was in grad school my apartment had a mold problem, which I didn't find out about until after being mysteriously sick for months. When I moved out and into the house I'm in now, I immediately felt much better and my 2 cats also seemed more energetic and happier in general. Also I had the apartment health inspected and they basically didn't care at all so I just moved. I was incredibly lucky to have been able to move as soon as I found out about the mold and it was shocking to see how sick I was from it. 1000% good to move asap! Sorry for the essay but I was not aware of having that bad of a mold allergy prior to my experience and it made me super sick so I always want to warn anyone else who may encounter mold, so that no one else deals with it either 😅

Sometimes i have that weird throat feeling with some lip products. I don't think much about it but i have been noticing it

Lol. You definitely jinxed it by saying the cats think you are moving. So glad you feel better now. And I’m so cynical now with everything going on about those supposedly horror stories about bc.

you prob have already removed your IUD but let me share my story. I felt nothing to remove it. It was painful to insert, as usually is but felt zero pain to remove. Any discomfort I felt was more because of the inexperience of the resident that assisted me (my fam doc is in a teaching hospital so you can be seen by a trainee or their supervisor and IUD removal is considered an easy task). The trainee had never removed one so it took a very long time (meanwhile I am there, positioned if you know what I mean) but she end up asking her supervisor to come in to remove it cuz she couldnt. So what was supposed to be a quick 5-10 min procedure (all in all included) took about an hour LOL but again, no pain at all!!!! I hope yours was uneventful as well :)

No, not having to move again!!! 😩 I'm so sorry Sarah! I saw your recent vlog and when you said you were moving I thought it must be for something you couldn't change, like being reno-victed, and when you said mould, I agree, that's not something you mess around with. I also am not a summer lover, and I find I get bummed more easily in summer because I am easily affected by heat, and I am much more exuberant in autumn-spring. A good thunderstorm perks me up too!

Thank you for sharing about PMDD. I’m not sure if you have a landlord or apartment manager, but have they refused any option of mold remediation for you? I agree with you on not loving the summer. I’ve grown to like it a little more, but I’m definitely more interested in fall and spring. I wish you luck on your move with the kitties. I just moved with a cat about 2 months ago so I know how it can be.
