Struggling with Hypothyroidism and Medication

Hello! My name is Ange and I've been struggling with hypothyroidism for a long time (diagnosed at 16, am now 23) and I take medication for it but I feel like there should be more I should be doing. I'm also on escitalopram for depression and anxiety and I think it's messed up my period and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've been constantly bleeding for about 3 months now; has anyone had any similar things happen?

Menstruation is such a weird thing, it can be affected by so many variables, but I would highly suggest you see a gynecologist if possible, or start with your regular doctor, if you feel comfortable. 3 months is too long love.

Thank you, it is concerning. I'm afraid I'll become anemic again honestly. I'm going to try to get a gyno, I'm extremely scared of that sort of stuff because of past trauma in life and also they're all booked out and expensive (no insurance) But I will try my best! Thank you for your comment!

Have you tried looking for a women's health clinic in your area?

I just looked it up and there is one near me looks like. I'll have to call and see their wait list and prices. Thank you for the suggestion!
