Postpartum Depression after an abortion

I know I might get some negative comments, but I really need help. I accidentally got pregnant and was in the final year of my bachelor's and was so scared, I come from a religious background and my parents are ministers. I was so scared of dissappointing them and what people would think, but also how my life was about to change, I wasn't with the father and I was scared of being alone. I ended up having an abortion and I've regretted it ever since. There are moments when I can't breathe because of the pain and I go through seasons where I really want a baby, because I feel like it'll help me move on, but at the same time I know it won't. One minute I'm fine the next Im being triggered by a baby or the news of someone being pregnant. I don't know how to fix this, I hate this feeling, I'm tired of being depressed

Massive hugs. Please do not be hard on yourself, you did what you needed to do in the situation you were in. It is entirely normal to feel upset and distressed at this time, and you have taken the first step by recognising it. Is there any way you can access some counselling? You will get through this.
