Is Abortion Affecting My Life?
Take the quiz to find out if abortion may be affecting your life in ways you can’t yet understand.
- Do you tend to look at your life in terms of “before” and “after” the abortion? Has your self-concept changed?
- Do you find yourself struggling to ignore the feelings connected to your abortion?
- Do you find yourself involved in unhealthy relationships or self-destructive behaviors?
- Have you experienced any prolonged times of depression or sucidial thoughts since your abortion?
- Are you using/abusing alcohol or drugs to numb your feelings?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, it may be time to chat with someone – contact us at [email protected]. We are here to help you make an informed decision that is best for you and your future. All conversations are confidential and anonymous.
