Abortion Recovery

Recovering From an Abortion

Research shows that many women find it difficult to get past an abortion.  Are you struggling with a past abortion? The questions below can help you find out whether or not this is the case.

Checklist to Consider:

• After abortion, do you find yourself struggling to turn off feelings concerning your abortion(s), perhaps telling yourself over and over to forget it?
• Do you change the subject in conversations that deal with the topic of abortion?
• Do you ever struggle with feelings of forgiveness towards yourself or others regarding your abortion(s)?
• Are you affected by physical reminders of your abortion(s) i.e., babies, pregnant women, baby clothes or are you uncomfortable around children?
• Are there certain times of year when you find yourself depressed, sick or accident prone such as the anniversary date of the abortion or the month of the would-be birth date?
• Have you experienced substantial increase in drug or alcohol use or any self-destructive behavior (e.g. eating disorders, abusive relationships, increased sexual activity)?
• Have you experienced periods of prolonged depression or had any suicidal thoughts since your abortion?
• Do you find yourself wishing that you could talk to someone about your abortion experience?
• If a program were available to help you work through your abortion experience, would you attend?
