I had an abortion 9 months ago I know I did it for the right reason but i regret it now how can i get over it?

i think about it every day and it hurts me i cant get over it. what can i do?

I just went through an abortion and am having a hard time dealing with it. You feel so alone because no one else really understands what you are going through (as most of the other answers illustrate). I know I did it for the right reasons as well and wouldn't change the decision if I could, but I am still very upset about it and think about it all the time.

As far as how to get better I obviously don't have all the answers because I myself am not over it, but I can offer some suggestions of things that have been helping me. I think the most helpful thing is simply having someone to talk to (obviously someone that you trust and know won't judge you). Just being able to get it out so you aren't holding everything in all the time is very helpful. I've also found it helpful to write about it as well, just everything that happened and everything that you have thought and felt. This will also help you get things out, and it might be easier to be completely honest about everything you have been going through if you aren't sharing it with another person (so you won't hold back).

Most importantly understand that it is normal to be feeling the way you are and most women who undergo an abortion feel some sort of regret. Go easy on yourself, and don't rush your healing.

Some women do have serious depression. If this is the case with you, you might need to see a doctor and go on anti-depressants. Or perhaps some sort of councelling could be beneficial as well.

You are welcome to e-mail me if you want. I am going through the same thing as well.
