You Can Find Hope After Abortion
If you have an abortion in your past—whether a few weeks ago or several decades ago—and you suffering from unexplained depression or sadness, you could be dealing with post-abortion trauma, which has many of the same symptoms of PTSD, including:
- Bouts of crying
- Depression
- Guilt
- Inability to forgive yourself
- Intense grief / sadness
- Anger / rage
- Emotional numbness
- Sexual problems or promiscuity
- Eating disorders
- Lowered self esteem
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Nightmares and sleep disturbances
- Suicidal urges
- Difficulty with relationships
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Flashbacks
- Multiple abortions
- Pattern of repeat crisis pregnancy
- Discomfort around babies or pregnant women
- Fear / ambivalence of pregnancy
You don't have to deal with this alone. There is help!
