I was on the Mya birth control pill for 4 years as I had extremely bad periods. However, coming off the pill I’ve noticed that I’ve started growing hair right underneath my eyes in the corner as well as on the cheek. I’ve never had this before if I did it was only 2 hairs my the side of my eyes. It’s not peach fuzz but it’s not super thick facial hair like men get it’s very similar to eyebrow hair. I’ve been to the doctor and he said it’s normal and not to worry about it. I have a hard time believing this. I know I shouldn’t have but I googled it and apparently because the Mya suppresses androgens and this could be a temporary symptom from coming off the pill but I’ve already been off it for 10 months and it just slowly growing more hair. It’s ruining my confidence. Has this happened to anyone before and how did you deal with it?

For context I just finished my first year of university and at first everything was going okay but I would sometimes get into a depressive episode and have trouble going to classes/ finishing assignments. This only happens during the winter so I get really bad winter blues. Sorry for how long this post is.
Anyway in the first term I had a gpa of 2.25 still not the best but I was at least in the average and would not receive an academic warning. Now that I finished the second term it was better until I registered for a class that was extremely boring and could not focus and I was honestly just in a bad place. I got Cs in all my other classes and did good in some of my exams and assignments just not one class. I failed a class the first time in my life and that dropped my gpa to 1.90. I’m freaking out, I haven’t gotten an academic warning yet but I’m sure I will. It’s also only my first year and I’m still new to all of this but I know that’s just an excuse. I had an average of 80% in high school I honestly don’t know what happened to me. I have thought about talking to an advisor to help and honestly I really need it for my mental health and not just academically.
I haven’t told my parents because we are short of money and the only way to get through the remaining years is for a loan and I’m 99% sure I won’t be able to get it because it’s so low and I’m sure I need at least a gpa of 2-2.5 for a loan. My parents are gonna be so disappointed in me, idk what to do.
I have a friend I’ve been talking to that is long distance however she takes a very long to time respond and I need advice PLEASE
