I Had my abortion 3 days ago

Hi everyone,

I had my abortion about three days ago and i have been struggling greatly and am reaching out for support. I have been feeling a tremendous amount of emotional and physical pain through this process. I have been feeling all of the symptoms i have been researching and it has been hell to say the least. My body is weaker than most so i know that this is affecting me more than usual. I had heavy bleeding for the first day and it has now lightened up but is now begining again. I feel very weak and i can not exert too much energy. I have immense body pain at some point it is unbearable. Im having nausea and headaches and my emotional state has been horrible. I already suffer from depression so i have just been feeling ten times worse. When the blood did come i began to cry uncontrollably, like i could feel the change.

I have been feeling guilt as well for being reckless and letting it get to this point. I should have been more responsible. I usually am but i slipped up this time. I would also like to say i am an avid supporter of women having the right to get an abortion and planning parenthood and i know that everyone has a different experince and feelings towards it which is perfectly alright and valid. I did not think I would be so emotional but I am. I know that what i did was the right choice because i am not ready to have a child, im only 22 years old and i have so much to learn and i still need to heal from my own truamas i could never imagine bringing a baby into this world without being fully prepared mentally and emotionally.

I would love any advice anyone has to help me through this hard time and thank you for listening. ❤️

I would also like to say that through my journey i have found a support group that is free with counselors and dedicated to people who have had an abortion or is thinking about it 💜 https://exhaleprovoice.org/
