Im 18 years old I had an abortion on August 7th I did't won't to do it but my mama made me and me an my boyfriend was having problems,and now I regret it so much,and I cry over it all the time. My attituide got worse I just get mad over the little things people say or do. I'm wondering do I need a therpist or counsler cause the way I feel I just feel bad.

I believe anyone that has experienced an abortion is going to have some emotional difficulties. I understand it was not your decision and that it was something forced to do. The thing is you have to realize that it happened and there is no going back so emotionally stressing is going to have very negative affects. I believe you should see someone who can help you work out the stress and aftermath of the abortion because it will be hard for a while to get over it.

Counselling is a good option, and I encourage you to speak to someone.

Abortion is never an easy decision to make. But, sometimes it is the right decision, and, it is nobody's call but your own. It is easy for others to sit in judgment, but to argue that point, or make excuses for it, won't have you healing by adding guilt on top of what cannot be changed.

A loss is a loss. You may be feeling the loss of what could have been. You may be feeling resentment, and confusion, and that your emotions are all over the map. Whatever it is that you are going through, if it is affecting your day to day life, and you feel you need counselling, then by all means, please seek out a counsellor. That four months have passed, and you are feeling this way, its probably a good idea.

Thank you so much and I will be going to see somebody that can help me because it's a problem I deal with everyday.
