So I got pregnant after my 17th birthday and I got an abortion. I feel empty and dirty and terrible and I just hate my body. Whenever I look in the mirror I just don’t like what I see. And I don’t know if it’s the after effects …I really don’t want to be like this forever and I I can’t seem to put myself out there emotionally

It’s understandable to have a rollercoaster of emotions after having an abortion, including feelings of guilt, shame, and self-blame. However, it’s important to remember that your decision was likely a difficult one, and you made it because you believed it was the best choice for you at the time. It’s also important to recognize that having an abortion is a common experience, and you are not alone.
It may be helpful to seek support from a therapist who specializes in reproductive health and can help you work through these feelings. Remember that it’s okay to take the time you need to heal, and that with support from close family and friends, you can move forward with self-compassion and understanding.
