(21/F) A few years ago, I had an abortion. It was during a serious relationship and I was going into college and I felt it was right due to all the circumstances. I had support from my family, but my boyfriend never knew because we split before I went through with it. Sometimes I really regret my decision, and wonder if it would have been a boy or a girl. I wonder what he/she would look like. It just hits me hard, still to this day. Deep down, I know it was the right decision but I cry alot and think about the "what ifs". Has anyone gone through this? What am I supposed to do? I don't need any lectures or personal opinions, I just need some honest help. (link)

HI there.
I am 18 years old, and I too have had an abortion, it's been about a year and I did it all for the same reasons as you. When I had my abortion I had a lot of support from my family and boyfriend which were the only people who really knew. When I was pregnant I signed up for a website that would send me an e-mail once every week saying, "You're 20 weeks!" and it still sends me e-mails saying, "Your 4 month old, blah blah blah.." I know that it's a form of self-punishment because I regret my decision. Anyways, I joined this website called, www.passboards.org
Everyone on there has either had an abortion or has someone in their immediate family that has had an abortion and is needing to find help in coping with it. Seriously, like when I joined this site I was so amazed to know like, how much every single girl on the site had in common with me and that alone just made me feel like I wasn't by myself. They also have SRG's, which are online recovery groups that will help you out through the recovery process, it doesn't matter if you had your abortion a few years ago or a few decades ago. It makes me feel sad knowing that I've had an abortion, even though it WAS the right decision for myself, I hope that eventually I won't be so sad about it, but yeah, definitely check out that site. It'll make you feel tons better.
Good luck to you
and my e-mail is arichardson2008@yahoo.com
if you ever need to vent or talk, I totally know what you're going through and we can be some kind of support for each other.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. I didn't even know there were sites out there like that for support.
