I'm truly sorry to hear that you're experiencing such challenging emotions. Coping with post-abortion feelings can be complex. It might be beneficial to seek support from a mental health professional, such as a therapist or counselor, who can provide a safe space for you to express and process your emotions without judgment. Talking about your feelings with someone trained to help can be a significant step in coping with guilt, anxiety, and anger. Additionally, consider sharing your thoughts and concerns with a trusted friend or family member for additional support. Remember, seeking professional help is a sign of strength, and taking care of your mental well-being is crucial.
