Question
Hello Diane,
I’m 22 years old
I’m pregnant since 5 weeks
I want to lose my baby
Wrong man, wrong timing, wrong financials and wrong social circumstances
Abortion is not an easy or safe operation here in my country; abortion pills aren’t legal as well.
I thought about taking medicines that are forbidden for pregnant women to take as it causes abortion, I know it may effect on my health so badly but I have no choice.
What’s your opinion about that? If you support me in this; can you tell me some names of these medicines? And what are the side effects I may face if I took each one?
I found one, its name is roaccutan, it is taken for acne and it causes abortion if I took over than 80 mg one time.
It causes extreme depression, and here is my second question; what can I do to all these awful feelings I have? About being pregnant & about planning for abortion, I’m depressed Diane, I feel I’m a very bad girl; an awful mother, a loser, a criminal. Why that has happened to me? I took good care not to allow such thing to be happened and I don’t know exactly how or when that happened! I regret that so much. I can’t concentrate in my work and lost the ability of eating. My partner doesn’t care about the problem we face and he has left me to handle the problem as the way I prefer (as he said). I feel lonely I feel angry I feel it is a nigh mare that believe me, will never end even if I lost my baby.
Please reply to me as soon as possible,
Thank you.
