Depression After Abortion

   Follow what the doctor tells you, ensure your movement, no matter how difficult it is for you, try to "feed" yourself with positive emotions, to be surrounded by positive people. Are you taking any antidepressants now? If there is no improvement in your condition, consult another doctor PS - If you believe in God, go to a temple, church. You can talk to a priest, have a prayer read to you, etc. Good luck and I hope you get better :)

   This, as you describe it, is not exactly depression. The depressive period is currently actually part of another illness. Has the psychiatrist not made a diagnosis? You need psychotherapy at least, as well as serious treatment, which will most likely last a lifetime. The good news is that for now you realize that you need help and you sought it yourself or through your loved ones.

   Hello dear! First, I will start with the fact that many women experience abortions. In some - spontaneous, due to problems, in others - completely intentional. But the fact is that this is a difficult topic for women and especially for those who have gone through this "hell". But the fact is that life goes on with full force and one should not give up, turn in a circle, delve into gray thoughts, but do everything possible to be happy. Life constantly gives us difficulties, constantly tests us. Abortion is exactly one ordeal. It happened for one reason or another, but know that you are neither the first nor the last woman to experience it. Don't blame yourself, don't consider yourself less complete ... Be strong and just believe my words. I know, I know, it's not that easy, but I sincerely hope they are at least a little useful to you. The power of words... Second, you don't need any pills, maybe more time. It's all in your head. In connection with the above comment .. Yes, if you have not done so yet - go, light a candle, pray. Of course, if you believe. Third, your attitude towards children is understandable. This is from the pain in you. It was the same with me. After the abortion I felt a terrible feeling when I saw a small child, a mother with children ... I explain it as a kind of "envy", it takes time and more positive thoughts. Greetings! F, 27 mother with children .. I explain it as a kind of "envy", it takes time and more positive thoughts. Greetings! F, 27 mother with children .. I explain it as a kind of "envy", it takes time and more positive thoughts. Greetings! F, 27

   Take a week off and rest. Your fatigue is mental, but it also affects you physically, so it's good to have some time to rest and without obligations. Get some sleep, walk in nature and follow the doctor's prescriptions. Make an appointment for a psychologist or psychotherapist. I think you can do without antidepressants, but again you will need to talk to a specialist to clarify the whole picture. Psychologists do not give answers to problems, but help you understand them yourself and come up with alternative solutions (again alone). By no means do I want to convey that I recommend for the mother to be inactive. It is perfectly normal to feel bad after an abortion and feel sad. It struck me that you used the phrase "I lost my child," which tells me you wanted it, you have experienced the shock of loss and are still recovering. No woman should lose a desired child, and I think everyone would fail in such a situation. You are not guilty, you are not weak and you are not crazy. Just give yourself the rest you need, pour out your pain, talk to someone and don't judge yourself.

   Someone is watching you, are you getting signals from food, lithium? !! This is not depression, but something else.
