So, after being on hormonal birth control for years on and off—mostly just taking breaks every six months or so—I finally had to call it quits two months ago.
I was on Lyndinette from February through September this year, and honestly, I realized I just couldn't deal with it anymore.
The reason: my mood went absolutely south, with these insane bouts of rage, crying spells, and constant depression... plus I put on five pounds or more because I was perpetually starving. The hunger I felt when I wasn't on the pill was actually manageable, but while I was on it, the hunger was unbearable, way more frequent, I was eating massive portions and nothing ever felt like enough.
The worst part was definitely those episodes of anger and crying; I’d be sitting there knowing there was no actual reason to feel that way, and then it would hit me that I’d been going through the exact same misery before when I was on Logest.
My question is, has anyone else gone through something similar, and are there any alternatives out there? I've heard about things like patches or even subcutaneous implants, so to speak. I really want to look into other options because I'm way too paranoid to rely solely on condoms for protection. I'm not currently in a relationship, but if I were, I’d definitely use both methods together.
Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions, or advice?

They aren't your friends, and they sure as hell aren't friends with each other either; it’s just a bunch of people using one another as nothing more than drinking buddies.
Actual friends would actually be happy for you and your success, but if these people were even remotely sane, they’d have actual lives and hobbies instead of just this.
You really need to kill the illusion that these guys are your circle because if they ever were, they clearly aren't anymore, so just enjoy life with your fiancée and go out and find some real people and a decent social life together.

Absolutely and simply—YES.

The real issue is that people don't view money as a tool to achieve a goal, they treat the money itself as the endgame,
and frankly, most people have no clue how to actually use that tool.
Questions and philosophies like this only pop up because of the social and psychological fallout from human... well, stupidity.

More cash means more existential security (which leads to a much better headspace and less stress) plus way more options (for school, leveling up your skills, moving cities, or just changing your whole life around...)
