10 months after Mirena insertion...and im DONE.

[Hippo22]

I am due to have my mirena coil removed tomorrow after a progressive worsening of side effects.
The two weeks following insertion of the mirena I was hit by a black cloud of depression and spent every day regretting my decision. That being said, I told myself things would settle down. And they did. To an extent. The months after this I had the worst PMS I have ever experienced. This would happen in the days leading up to my period (yes, I was also unlucky enough to have no reduction in period heaviness/duration) and as the months have progressed I have developed wild symptoms of irritability, low mood, anger, anxiety, nervousness and dread. I wake up in the morning and feel worried about the day ahead. I have become increasingly paranoid and my self esteem is so low that I find myself thinking my partner can do better and maybe we should split up so he doesn't have to put up with me any more.
Along with this, my hair on my head has started falling out however i have developed an increase in hair growth in other areas of my body I would rather not have!
I was close to having a panic attack last night which is extremely unlike me. I have never suffered with anxiety and so all this is new and rather frightening. All of this started as soon as I had the mirena inserted and quite frankly I've been naive to think that it's all just a coincidence.
Tomorrow I am getting it removed... my question is how long will take for my body to return to the way I was before, shake off the anxiety and worry and be able to function again? I know the answer to that may be 'as long as a piece of string'! My worry is about everything I've read about the Mirena Crash... because I don't think I could possibly feel much worse than I do now. I guess I'm looking for some support and encouragement here ladies that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Many thanks
