Why am I still depressed, I got an abortion almost a year ago...?

I really try to forget about it. I can’t seem to keep my mind off of it. I think about it every single day. I can’t forgive myself for what I did. I am only 16 but I regret it SO much. It hurts me so bad on so many levels.

Yh, I think maybe you did feel a bit guilty of not having the baby. Here is something that may help; My sister had the same thing and she talked to me about it and I told her the truth; that it wouldn’t of been fair on the baby because she was in school and the baby would have been without a mum and I also said that in the future, there will be more babies! Just let yourself think about it so it doesn’t seem to haunt you or keep a diary of your thought and feelings. Although, the first step is to forgive yourself, you stopped a baby having a complicated life that wouldn’t have been fair on it and you gave yourself a chance to have a better life with loads of different paths! I hope that helps, it seemed to help my sis! Good luck

Answer #2

b/c it is your baby so you feel guitly for having a baby your fault or not but it happened and you wanted to keep it

Answer #3

I guess you’re right..

Answer #4

I had an abortion a year ago too. So I know precisely how you feel. I have come to the conclusion that the guilt becomes overwhelming and we wonder what might have been. Your body gave it life and so the seperation is a hard one. I’d go see a doctor if you start to feel really bad. Hope you are ok <3
