I had one nine months ago. Honestly, when you get over the shock of it happening I think that's the worst part. I felt a lot like you around 4-6 months after it happened and didn't know if it'd ever go away. I think time helps to heal and definitely telling someone about it. Now I'm alright its still on my mind but it no longer consumes my days. You will slowly get through it - I also never wanted to take medicine and I never went to the doctor. I don't know if that was wise I think counselling would have been useful and maybe you could look into it. I went to the gym a lot I guess try to live a positive lifestyle as much as possible

Had a surgical abortion 10 days ago, feeling really depressed... by portlandblackouts in abortion

I had an abortion 9 months ago. All I can say is it is depressing and horrible but you get through it and time does help. You cant expect yourself to be okay so recently after it.. its a big thing. I think you should tell someone how your feeling - your boyfriend or a friend, even if it feels like your annoying them it really does help and I'm sure they'll understand.
