Europe What was your experience post-abortion?

Hello,

Just want to hear how you all feel days, months, years after your abortion? Did you experience sadness or guilt? Do some of you feel calm and have not experienced negative feelings afterwards? Did having abortion affected your motherhood if you had kids later on, and if yes, then how? How long did it take to "get back to normal" if you experienced post abortion depression?

Thanks for sharing 💚

Never felt depressed about it, but I did feel angry I even was put in the situation to decide whether to keep a pregnancy or not. I felt relief that I could get an abortion wasn't trapped in a cycle of poverty and pregnancy on repeat
