I'm unsure of what contraception to use?

Hi, everyone, I'm on the mini pill Zeletta 75 MG each day and have been since September 2016. I've tolerated the side effects as I was scared to try another method but now it is time for to come off as my health has gone downhill. I have had terrible mood swings, depression and anxiety. I've had weight gain, bloating and stomach issues. I already suffered with anxiety and have an autism disorder so this has really driven me to the edge. I'm very keen on natural family planning so as to avoid hormones but am concerned as it can have a high failure rate. I just don't want hormones. I've talked to a nurse at a family planning clinic and I originally wanted the copper coil but she said this would cause heavy bleeding. I've had heavy bleeding whilst on this mini pill and now have a low serum ferritin level which means I have low iron stores. The nurse then suggested I take the Jaydess which is a low dose hormonal coil at 13.5MG it gives out a day but I'm scared of the intrusive nature of the procedure and have read many stories online that are putting me off. She was prescribing me to have the Jaydess this Tuesday the lower dose hormonal coil but as I suffer with anxiety I don't know what option to take? I feel my body needs a break but I still need protection.
