My experience : Paragard or Mirena?

I’m considering an IUD but, honestly, im terrified of having an adverse reaction, even more so than the pain many people report during insertion. I don’t know which one to go with, or if its best for me to stick to no iud.

A bit of background about me:

-Im 24 and have never been pregnant

I’ve tried the pill and the nuvaring and felt awful on both. My side effects were depression, anxiety, and low sex drive
I’m currently on no birth control. I feel much better and my periods are pretty manageable
My biggest worry about Mirena is that the hormones will worsen my depression and anxiety and lower my sex drive. I already struggle with mental health and low libido, I dont need it to get worse

-My biggest worry about Paragard is the heavy periods and bad cramps

Any thoughts or experiences you are willing to share will help me make a decision.
