can you please PLEASE put this under an lj-cut? (you can find out how in the FAQ) Also it's really really hard to read all being in one paragraph, maybe you could enter a few times to make it into a few different ones? Just trying to help b/c it's really hard to read like that and takes up my whole friends page.
i was like "wow other people have abortions" lol Yeah, lots of us :) I had a med abortion like you. About 5 years ago now.
It's totally normal to think about the "road not taken" and feel wistful or sad... there are lots of "what ifs."
It sucks that they had that mean woman working there. Sometimes it is hard for them to get staff at abortion clinics, so they can't get rid of mean people as easily. Though now that I think on it one of the midwives when I had my child was a jerk too. Oh well. I guess there's bad apples in every barrel.
I had counselling once too, when my sister died, and I felt the same was as you about it. She just listened to me, didn't even ask questions... it seemed pointless. There are probably better counsellors out there though.
I hope you are feeling better after getting all that off your chest... sometimes it does help to talk about things.
I had a really horrid receptionist as well, and I actually screamed at her. I had a surgical abortion, and I was medicated and crying and I yelled in her face. But there are therapists who just listen and don't really talk, and there are some who just want to shove pills down your throat. But if you ask at the health clinic, there are usually numbers that they'll give you to free therapists, who will talk and listen and basically be your best friend. that's how I finally found someone I was willing to talk to. And I felt exactly the same way you did about, "other people have abortions, too." It's not stupid...it's sucha taboo subject, that it makes you feel as if you're all alone. But atleast you have what seems like a really great guy to help you, and now you have a bunch of friends to share with. Love and kisses
