I had an abortion when I was 18, and the first year afterwards I would say was the hardest. You have to remember that it was the right decision for you and the baby at this time in your life. It's normal to feel sadness and any other feelings. & even tho the baby is not with you anymore your body still just went through pregnancy so you have a ton of hormones still out of each which can contribute to your mood as well. It's been 6 years now for me and while I feel sadness it's not a deep regretful sadness, it's more of how you may think of a fond memory of a person who has passed away, or some similar feeling if that makes sense. I know that it's what I had to do. I was in a very similar situation, had only been with my now ex for 6 months, was scared out of my mind, didnt want my family to know. I even waited 2 years to tell my mom about it ever, but she told me she had had one when she was around my age. You can't beat yourself up about it, and also don't be mad at yourself for being upset now. Sorry if I'm rambling but anyway I wanted to let you know that you aren't alone and what you are feeling is normal but time really does heal all wounds. I encourage you to talk to someone you trust about your feelings because you don't have to go through it alone. Talking about it along with time will help you heal.
