Having an abortion can make you feel so alone and isolated. You’re unsure who to talk to. Will they judge me? Will they hate me? Questions and shame may fill your mind.
Please know that if you are struggling emotionally after an abortion, there is help. What you’re feeling is real, and your story is important to us.
Choices offers a safe and compassionate space to share your experiences and find healing. Many of us have been where you are, and we promise to hear you. Come to Choices and find the acceptance and support you need.
You Are Not Alone
Many women share their emotional pain on Reddit. You are not alone in experiencing sadness, shame, and even regret. Can you relate to how these women feel?
“It’s a really heavy thought, and no one in my family knows, and I’m home for winter break and don’t really talk to my friends at home about it, so it’s just really weighing on my heart.”
“I just don’t have any fight left in me. I feel like a shell of the person I was. I can’t even look in the mirror.”
“I don’t feel able to confide in anyone, I’m afraid of being judged for sleeping with my ex, and even though my friends support abortion, I know there would still be shame.”
We understand, and we’re here for you. Shame causes you to feel unworthy. You think, in some sense, that you are a bad person and that what you’ve done is unforgivable.
You Don’t Have to Live With Unresolved Shame
When you live in self-doubt, you’re unable to rise above the thoughts that constantly bombard you. It can cause you to become incapacitated and unable to move forward in life.
There is hope, though. You can heal from the shame and pain of an abortion. At Choices, we offer free and confidential support.
Trained facilitators offer one-on-one and group support services. You choose what you are most comfortable with. You and an advocate assess how you’re feeling, discuss those emotions, and develop a personal healing plan.
