You just have to remind yourself that you were young, and people do things that they regret later on in their life when they are young. For whatever reason you did it, and whatever your beliefs are about it, you were young, and at the time, you had your reasons. I would see a counselor, maybe, to work out the lingering guilt you have over it, but rest assured, what you're feeling is normal, but remind yourself of the reasons that you made the decision that you did. You knew what was best for you, even if you don't feel that that's what is best for you now.

I think that it's too late to wonder what you should do,you should have thought about what would happen in the future.Anyway feeling sorry for yourself wont help,and you wont ever be able to get away from the sad feeling of you aborting your child, but what you can do is spend less time thinking about the pass and concentrate on the future.Start fresh,ask for forgiveness from the heavenly father, even if your an atheist, it wont hurt you if you just take a minute of your time and ask.Try making a family,have another baby even though you and i both know that it wont replace what was taken away.No one including me is in a position to judge you, because they know nothing about what you have been through,someone here at yahoo answers thought me that.So,start fresh,find positive stuff to occupy your mind so you spend less time in sorrow.I love and God loves you and that alone will help you to continue living.I'm here, just holla when you need to talk.

Having an abortion is a huge decision to make esp. at a young age, I have 2 friends who had a hard time dealing with it and one that it doesn't really phase...I would talk about it to an understanding friend, or write a letter to the baby explaining your decisions and how you felt then, and how you feel now. Ultimately it is a decision that you had to make for whatever your reasons were at the time, and the more you allow yourself to hurt over it the sooner you will heal....healing can't happen when you aren't willing to admit your feelings...good luck and I hope that you are able to heal and move past this!

Talking about it always seems to be the best medicine. You can try a therapist, clergy, a friend who has been through it, perhaps a support group? Feel free to e-mail me, I had one quite a few years ago myself. I dealt with it then, and I remember how tough it was. I was in a bad place for a good 8 months. Deal with it, let yourself go through the emotions, and then let it go (the hardest part of course). Again, if you need someone to talk to, don't hesitate!

Maybe you should see a councelor. Also talk to other people who may be thinking about having an abortion and tell them what you went through. Many people believe they won't be sad or regretting it later, but you are proof that it does affect people later in live. I am sorry to hear what you are going through.

Many women who have had an abortion later regret it and seek some counseling to help talk their way through it with a person who has no opinoin on it. If you can't afford it, try calling around and ask about pro-bono sessions.

Perhaps you could look into volunteering at a Crisis Pregnancy Center. In these centers, women get help with their decisions to keep their babies. You may find that helping others in a similar situation helps you to heal.
I hope I've helped you.

Did you go to school, get a degree, act like a teen-ager and grow up?
I raised a kid and didn't go to school until I was 42. I HATE school! It's geared for teens and it pisses me off. I don't even want to go. If you can go, do it!
