I have nightmares?!
Question: I have nightmares!?
When I was younger I had an abortion which i regret with all of my heart!. Less than two years later I gave birth to a wonderful baby boy!. Sometimes when I go to bed at night I have horrible nightmares about the abortion and I wake up with cold sweats and sometimes crying!. How do I get over the guilt I feel for this and enjoy the life I have with my four year old son!. BTW i don't really care if you agree on abortion, please do not bring that touchy subject up!. I just want to know how to come to terms with what happened and move on from something that happened when i was 16 (now 22)Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to forgive yourself for what happened!. What you did is in the past!. If needed perhaps talk to a counselor!. I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision for you, especially now that it seems to be haunting you!. You were 16 and unable to care for a baby at such a young age!. while I normally may not be in favor of abortion I certainly can understand a scared teen!. It is also understandable that you have guilt especially after having another child because I have heard of that before, you are not abnormal!. Please go and talk to someone if necessary so you can start to heal again emotionally and get rid of the nightmares!. Best wishes to you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It helps if you remember that ALL teenagers make mistakes!.
You should talk to someone, if not a professional, then a friend!. Nightmares are your brain's way of trying to get you to deal with things that you don't deal with when you're awake - once you begin to deal with them, the nightmares should die down!.
Journaling may also help; it's helped me with a lot of guilt and psychological crap!. Just use force yourself to start writing, maybe 10 minutes a day and you'll feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi,
i could only imagine how this makes you feel, you did this for reasons at the time that were right!.
it must have been a really hard descion for you to make and i know you must feel guilty when you are with your other son, but don't your other baby is watching over you i'm sure of it!.
the best thing you could do is find a local social worker at the church they are free and see them on a weekly basis
i'm sure you are a fantastic mum and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise!
Hope this Helps

Try not to feel guilty about past events!. Forget the past it is finished but at the same time understands the lessons from that past action!. Live in the present!. That which has happened is finished, so why worry about that!. Shakespeare said " What's gone and what's past, should be past grief"!.

My mom had 2 abortions before she had my brother and I (Sorry for bringing it up)!. She's a Christian and she thinks that when she dies and goes to heaven she'll be able to see them!. Other than that, I don't know how she was able to deal with it and move on!. I'll ask her tomorrow morning, edit this, and tell you, but that all might not be done until 4pm EST because of school!. I'll try for the morning though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
