Abortion affects everyone differently. It can create feelings of relief for some women, while for others, it can feel like a crushing weight.
If you experience grief, depression, or anxiety after an abortion procedure, these mental health effects may not be felt for weeks, months, or even years afterward. Regardless of when the abortion occurred, you deserve healing.
Am I the Only One who feels this way?
How you cope after an abortion is a very individual experience. No two women will experience the same journey. However, there are several things we know about post-abortion mental health effects.
According to the National Institutes of Health, women may experience mental health effects after an abortion. And certain risk factors, including a preexisting mental health condition, can increase the chances of these occurring.
If you are feeling depressed, anxious, or grieving this loss, know you aren’t alone. Many women have been in your shoes, but they’ve found hope through abortion recovery programs. Though the journey has been difficult, they’ve found peace and happiness.
You can, too. And we’re here to help you get started on this journey.
How we can help
Coweta Pregnancy Services offers a no-cost abortion recovery program. This one-on-one mentoring service allows you to share your story without judgment.
Together, we’ll discuss the circumstances that led to the abortion, your initial feelings, current challenges, and your recovery goals. We’re not here to question your feelings. Instead, we’re here to remind you that hope is possible, and we’ll equip you with the tools needed to find healing.
Healing isn’t linear, and some days are harder than others. You have a community here of people who will be with you amid your pain. You don’t have to suffer in silence.
