| Do I Need Any Help? |  If you have undergone abortion in your past, there are special services that enabled to help you. Possible, even years after your abortion, you are beginning to distinguish emotional consequences and want to move past those consequences and “feel whole.”
You could profit from the support group if you have experienced one or more of the following symptoms:
 Difficulty in bonding emotionally with family members
Over protectiveness of your children
Emotional numbness-not experiencing happiness or sadness at the levels you once did
bsence of motivation to do things you once enjoyed
Absorbed in thoughts of becoming pregnant again
Depression
Guilt
Anger-perhaps toward the person who encouraged you to have the abortion procedure, toward the abortionist, or toward yourself
Appetite and sleep disorders
Extreme alcohol/drug abuse or smoking
Promiscuity
Flashbacks/nightmares
At the same time as some women face severe symptoms which hold up with their normal functioning in their families or careers, more often women experience subtle symptoms which, while allowing them to live normal lives, stand in the way of their experiencing life to the fullest.
