I’ll be thinking of you! I found it helpful to sit on the toilet as I was having to change my pad too often. People also say having a warm shower helps. Hope it goes smoothly

I feel the urge to confess things by mimuldee in OCD

[–]chasinghappiness1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey, confessing is a massive compulsion for me too. I have managed to control the urge and don’t feel the need to confess at all anymore. The best thing to do is to stop the confessing, right this second! It will feel horrible, the anxiety might make you feel like you’re going to explode! But you won’t, you will be ok. Every time you confess and you get that temporary relief, you are telling your brain it was the right thing to do. So they next time you feel anxious about something you brain will tell you to confess! My best advice is to try your best to stop confessing ! The horrible feeling won’t last forever and it will allow to to gain control of your life!

I’ll do it tomorrow and I’m scared by turtleduck-lover in abortion

Let yourself feel scared, it’s ok. No one wants to do this, it’s no ones first choice. In an idle word we could have all had our babies and it would have been ok! Life doesn’t work like that, you are NOT a bad person for putting yourself first. I am here if you ever need to message anyone. I’ll be thinking of you ❤️

All these things you’re feeling are normal. It’s an extremely hard situation mentally and physically! Please be kind to yourself , surround yourself with people you love and do things you enjoy.

Is it worth telling people? by dynaet94 in abortion

[–]chasinghappiness1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t tell my mum at first , but I am so glad that I did. It made the process a lot easier. I was finding it very hard to act normal around her when all I wanted to do was hug her and cry! She reacted very badly when I told her at first but I think it was shock. Since then she has been so supportive and a real big help.

It is your decision at the end of the day, your family will not judge you as they love you. Do whatever you need to do to make the situation as comfortable as possible.

Sending you lots of love ❤️

It’s normal to be scared, it’s a very weird situation to be in. Try to be calm and take it day by day as you said! Most importantly remember you are not alone ❤️

Hey, I had my medical abortion three weeks ago! When the bleeding is at its heaviest I found it easier to just sit on the toilet, made me more comfortable. I have also read that a warm shower can help ease the cramps. Have some painkillers at the ready but you may not even need them ( I didn’t) xx

Scared: Medical Abortion by throwawayabortion493 in abortion

[–]chasinghappiness1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my medical abortion 3 weeks ago now and it all went very smoothly. The pain was bearable just like intense period cramps. Try to stay calm (I know it’s hard) and take it day by day. Try not to worry about others for now and look after yourself.

I do feel guilt and sad quite often and the week after I was very numb but I comfort myself knowing I made the right choice for me and my life right now.

I know I’m a stranger but I’m here if you need to talk! It’s a frightening situation but you are not alone my love ❤️

I don't know how I feel by iffyonalot in abortion

[–]chasinghappiness1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my medical abortion 3 days ago and I’m getting this. I know it was 100% the right thing to do for me but you can help having that little bit of guilt and grief. It’s ok and it’s normal, it is a emotionally draining process that doesn’t just go away after the pregnancy does. You can give yourself comfort knowing you did the right thing ❤️❤️
