Hi everyone,

I would really need some support from your community at the moment. In January I discovered I was pregnant with my boyfriend, whom I was only dating 5 months. We both didn't want children at the time, but our condom broke and the next day pill apparently didn't work. He is in a complicated moment right now, going through a divorce and already has two children. The decision was therefore mutual, it was just not the right time for any of us, although for the future we do wish a child together.
Since then however I have been having nightmares and a general state of depression, accompanied by panic attacks sometimes. I do spend a lot of time with his children and after being together for more than 3 full days, I get extremely sad. I still do think that this was the right decision, but I find myself crying for no reason or so sad it hurts. At first I blamed it on the hormonal changes associated with abortion, but this cannot be the case anymore.
It is also extremely hard to get physiological support here in Germany, and I could not find any free office until now...
If you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello lullaby1. I see this is your first post here on MSF. So... welcome to the forums. I hope you find the forums to be of benefit. I'm sorry I don't have anything in the way of suggestions to offer you especially since you're in Germany and I'm in the States. But, hopefully, there will be other MSF members who will have suggestions they can offer. My best wishes to you.

my daughter went though that too.. the sadness is pretty normal. Be gentle with yourself.

Btw she is now married and has two kids and is doing great.
