Are you experiencing post-abortion trauma?
Following an abortion, many women initially experience relief. The perceived crisis is over and life returns to normal. However, for many women, the crisis is not over. Months, even years later, significant issues may develop. Women who have had an abortion may experience the following symptoms:
- Guilt
- Anger
- Shame
- Remorse or regret
- Loss of self-esteem or self-confidence
- Feelings of isolation and loneliness
- Sleep problems and bad dreams
- Relationship problems
- Thoughts of suicide*
For those struggling with an abortion in their past, it is important to remember that you are not alone. If you or someone you know develops any of these symptoms, we can help.
