I am 22 yrs old, living with my 33yr old bf.
I've had bipolar depression before, and recognize the signs. When i went to university the stress of the exams caused me to break out with a skin condition called psoriorsis, it was all over my body and in my hair, obviously didnt like it, but my point is, even that didnt bring me down the way that this procedure has.
the whole day was awful and what made it worse was my bf couldn't be there for me because he is so busy at work. He got his friend to watch me over me, which I was realy appreciative for his company as i wasn't allowed to be left alone at all, but I cant help but feel like on the worst day Ive had in such a long time I took a back seat in my bfs life as well. But I also recognize that these thoughts come on with the emotions relating to bi-polar depression.
Since the abortion I have broken down in tears over nothing every single day. Its been a week and a day. How long is this going to last for? Is it back for good? do I need medication again, or is this normal for after a procedure and I just have to battle through it? Please help :-(

i am 25 years old, and had an abortion about 4 years ago. i still have hard days with this. my cercomestances to having this abortion were very tramatic, though i must say, i believe an abortion, for any woman, with any cercomstances can be equally as tramatic. i have not spoken to many women who have had abortions, i mean, not about them having abortions, so it is hard to know what other women experience. there are definatly hormonal changes that your body goes thru after an abortion, so this affects your mood, but even later it was more difficult for me. i still think about the abortion and the potential child. i struggled with feelings of anger, confusion, and blame when it came to my partner. i always felt that he was not there for me enough, though, looking back, i dont think he could have been there for me in the way i needed him to. i feel like an abortion, no matter how involved and supportive the male partner is, cannot be experienced the same way by him. i became very sick after the abortion, mentally that is. i moved back home with my parents and didnt work or go to school for a few months. sometimes when i thought i was back on my feet again, everything would fall apart and i would again have to return home to my support. i went back on medication for quite sometime, before the abortion i was off of medication. iam off medication today, as a personal choice. my life functions better with meds, but i have never found any that did not compromise my health with side effects. i want to say, there is hope to be bipolar and to have experienced an abortion. often the hardest process of any healing process is the time factor. at some point i just had to give up and say not on my time, its just going to have to happen naturally, and it did and still is. i would find some people to talk to, a counselor, pastor, a professional, and someone other than just your partner or close friend. best of luck to you.
I had an abortion in 2003. I didn't get out of bed, i quit going to work and I basically cried constantly. PLEASE visit
