We're talking about birth control, it's a lot, do you take birth control?

避妊について話しているのですが、たくさんありますよ。

to 不定詞

So I'm off birth control now, of like any forms of birth control, so I was on birth control from like 16 to 24, which is a long time to be on hormones you like entirely don't understand.

16歳から24歳まで避妊していたんだけど、ホルモン剤を使うには長い期間だから、まったく理解できないんだ。

動名詞

My periods are insane, I currently have my period right now and it feels like the wrath of like seven suns just like going through my body.

生理は狂気の沙汰で、今まさに生理中なんだけど、まるで7つの太陽の怒りが体を突き抜けていくような感じなんだ。

I started birth control in high school and it was kind of this thing where they pressure you into going on birth control and when I say they I mean the gynecologists, so like I, and I get why they do that, I mean they're worried about teen pregnancy and it does help with a lot of side effects of PMS and acne, I think it's helped a lot of people, but I, but it was weird that they just kind of put you on it and you don't really learn that much about it, I didn't really learn about it in school or in health class or anything and I didn't really talk to anyone about it.

高校で避妊を始めたんだけど、避妊をするようにプレッシャーをかけてくるようなもので、プレッシャーをかけてくるというのは婦人科医のことなんだけど、なぜそうするのかはわかるわ、学校でも保健の授業でも何も習わなかったし、誰にも相談しなかった。

And then you just get this like packet that like unfolds like 17 times.

そして、17回ほど展開するパケットを手に入れる。

And it's like what am I on, like you have no clue what it says in there or like what the health risks associated with it are, like the mental side effects, the physical side effects, like the weight gain and all that, you don't get like a walk through, especially with the mental side effects, that was like one of the most surprising things to me.

特に精神的な副作用については、私にとっては最も驚いたことのひとつだった。

And that's kind of the thing that people don't talk about a lot, because you talk about the physical side effects, I have been on many types of birth control, I've even tried Nuvaring, it was great because I didn't have to remember to take it, my biggest issue was like taking it at the same time every day, which is actually really hard, so yeah I felt all the physical side effects, but then I also had these mental side effects, and I don't think the doctors believed me, so and that was the hard part, so I felt like it was making me depressed, and I felt changes in my mood, and I would bring it up to the doctors, and they really, they tried to switch me to different ones, and they didn't really acknowledge it with a conversation around like well maybe you shouldn't be on birth control, it was more like trying to figure out different ones, so it wasn't until recently after talking with lots of people that I finally was like I don't want to be on birth control anymore, because my body just doesn't do well with birth control.

身体的な副作用について話すから、みんながあまり話さないことなんだけど、私はたくさんの種類の避妊具を使ったことがあるし、ヌバリングも試したことがある、避妊具のせいで気分が落ち込んだり、気分の変化を感じたりして、そのことを医師に相談すると、別の避妊具に変えてくれようとするんだけど、「避妊具を使わない方がいいんじゃない？

So like for anyone that has like any history of mental illness, or mental health issues, you're kind of playing with fire, so for me, like my family has a history of mental health issues, I felt like it was making me more depressed, when you don't have doctors validating that feeling, then you're like okay, like oh no, I'm just crazy.

だから、精神疾患の既往歴や精神的な問題を抱えている人は、火遊びをしているようなものなんだ。僕の場合、家族に精神疾患の既往歴があるから、そのせいでもっと落ち込んでいるような気がしたんだ。

I'm really glad that I could talk to women about it now, because it definitely increased my depression, increased my anxiety, and I, it was hard to even tell like what it was, like I had to pinpoint like oh I'm taking birth control, that's what's causing this.

避妊具を飲んでいるからこうなったんだ、と特定するのは難しかった。

If you're a person that's taking birth control, like that's totally fine, because it helps with periods, it helps with acne, there's all these like wonderful side effects it does have, but I think the problem is like just not understanding what you're taking, and when you're going on it when you're 16, and you don't understand what you're taking, and then you start to feel these like crazy emotions, it's like what's happening to my body?

もしあなたが避妊具を服用している人なら、それは生理に効くし、ニキビにも効くし、素晴らしい副作用もあるから、全然構わないんだけど、問題は自分が服用しているものを理解していないことだと思う。

I mean I definitely think it's important, and birth control, it should be free for women, and there's a lot of women that it really helps, and women who don't have these side effects, like any medication, but you should educate yourself, and learn like what is harming your body, or what's helping you, because it took me so many years, like most of my teen years into young adult, to realize the impact it was having on me, and I was also kind of embarrassed to even bring it up, or talk about it.

避妊は確かに重要だと思うし、女性にとっては無料であるべきだし、避妊が本当に助けになる女性もたくさんいるし、副作用がない女性もいる。

Totally, because I was like terrified to ask questions, I was terrified to talk about my mental illness, I was terrified to talk about anxiety and depression, and even give those things that labels, I was just like oh I'm just having a really bad day, and then it was like 14 days in a row, and then it was like a couple months, and then I was like this is maybe not normal.

質問するのも怖かったし、自分の精神的な病気について話すのも怖かったし、不安やうつ病について話すのも怖かったし、そういうレッテルを貼るのも怖かった。

I have a hormone imbalance, and I have very irregular periods, and the solution is to go on birth control.

私はホルモンバランスが崩れていて、生理不順なんです。

My physical body felt great, I was getting my period regularly, PMS was a lot lighter, but I was very depressed, so it wasn't worth it for me.

身体の調子はとても良く、生理も定期的に来て、PMSもかなり軽くなった。

And it sucks because when you're young, and you're dating shitty dudes, you're like I just gotta not get pregnant with this horrible potential father's child, so this is not me.

それに、若くてクソみたいな男とデートしているときは、この恐ろしい父親候補の子供を妊娠しないようにしなきゃって思うから、最悪だよ。

If dudes had the potential to get pregnant, I think one, birth control would be free, two, it would be dispensed at every corner, there would be little dispensaries everywhere.

もし男たちが妊娠する可能性があるのなら、1つは避妊具が無料になり、2つ目はいたるところで調剤され、小さな薬局があちこちにできるだろう。

それに関する研究はたくさんあるだろう。

Oh yeah, so many studies, and like if, oh god, if men felt period cramps, if they felt like weight gain, if they felt like the mental effects of birth control, like there would be so much more money invested on studying, so much more money invested on educating.

もし男性が生理痛を感じたり、体重増加を感じたり、避妊の精神的な影響を感じたりしたら、研究にもっとお金が投じられ、教育にもっとお金が投じられるだろう。

Do you guys have any birth control stories, success, failures, anything you want to talk about?

避妊の成功談、失敗談、何か話したいことはある？

Yeah, I'm sure there's gonna be some angry men.

ああ、怒れる男たちが出てくるだろうね。
