I just feel so guilty. It's been getting worse lately. I would see a pregnant girl and suddenly I would get so depressed. Sometimes I wonder if I'm going to get punished for what I did. For getting an abortion. Which was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. But I deserved it. But anyway I wonder if I will never be able to have any more kids again as a punishment for killing my first.

Anyway I feel so panicky and my heart's beating so fast. I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack. Help please!

Anyone else in a similar situation who can offer any words of advice would be much appreciated.
I have been there. I understand. I wish I could tell you everything gets better quick. It doesn't quick fix. It takes time. Its been 5 years and its still a work in progress. Keep thinking positive and if you ever need to talk you can pm me.
