Abortion regret Depression

[Lonleygal]

Hi has anybody else on here had an abortion and had depression after ? I feel like I’m just getting worse and worse as time goes on not better . I’m already on anti depressants but this is the worst feeling in the world. Has anyone felt like this but then managed to get help and get better? I just feel sick to my stomach all the time at what I’ve done and don’t know how to ever get over this ☹️

Sorry you’re feeling like this. How long has it been? I’m 6 weeks post abortion and I feel awful. Very anxious and back on anti depressants. Crying a lot.

I’m not sure I regret the decision. I regret being in that position. I regret not being able to meet the child. But I do know it would have been very difficult for 5 years and I need to concentrate on the kids I have. I’m just very sad.

My husband is going for a vasectomy tomorrow so that’s it really.

Hi. I had mine years ago now . I wasnt to bad at first as busy with my kids and had loads going on . But over the years it just seems to get worse. My anxiety has got so bad since that I hardly go out now . I’m so depressed now life just seems a daily struggle . I’d do anything to go back and not have the abortion. I don’t know how women cope with it . I hope you start to feel better 6 weeks is still quite soon . I think it takes quite a while for the hormones to settle down etc . X

I had a medical abortion 2 weeks ago after finding out I was pregnant with twins. I will be 39 this year and have a 10yr old so felt too old for babies. Anyway felt extreme guilt, cried my eyes out when I took the tablets.

I found out last week the tablets didn’t work so I’m still pregnant and don’t know what to do. I have a surgical booked in for Monday and don’t know if I will feel the same guilt on the day.

Sending lots of love and support to you xx

Hiya
Im so sorry you have to go through that. Are you definitely sure you want to go through with the termination on Monday then? Would the babies still be ok if you changed your mind ? You must be feeling all over the place at the moment. Personally I think it’s difficult to say as some women are fine and absolutely no guilt they just carry on after . And some like me feel really bad and guilty after. I think it depends how sure you are of your decision in the first place. I was in two minds and didn’t want the abortions but didn’t think I could cope as a single mum on my own again, and also I was getting older to . I think we’re made to feel guilty a lot of the time to by other peoples view of abortion which is totally wrong . Anyway I hope you get on ok feel free to message or reply stay strong xxx

Hi I've recently had a abortion just 2 weeks ago and I feel nothing but regret and I feel so low. I took the first tablet then instantly regretted it, called the clinic in tears who told me to not take the others, then 2 days later it all went wrong. My partner watched me go through all this and doesn't speak a word.
If you need a chat I'm here

hiya. Sorry I only just saw your reply. How r u? Did the abortion work did you take the next tablets ? My ex partner gave me no support at all so I did it all on my own too.

How is everyone doing
