My Depo Story - Julia Teffo

Here’s my depo story. I got my first ever shot in August last year, around the 27th just after my period. Well a few days went by and on the 5th of September I started bleeding (I don’t know if I should classify it as menses or what cause I had just gotten off my period). I bled for a month straight and was told that it’s one of the side effects.
​
I had irregular periods throughout the months, Depression, Self hate, Self harm, Anxiety, Breast Tenderness, Swollen toes, Oh and the Throbbing HEADACHE. But this month it was just too much, I went to the hospital and I just wanted them to make all these things go away. Well they’ve managed to stop the bleeding which occurred from (02 March-19 March this year) and today I’m not bleeding at all. I honestly just wanted to die. I’m currently taking 3 different tablets and an oral contraceptive to get things back to normal.
