I had my abortion August 2025.

I had my abortion August 2025. I am a Catholic and was a Catholic when I committed my abortion. I felt guilty soon after so I went to confession in October 2025. My feelings have been pretty numb until about May 2026. Lots of anxiety, guilt, shame and hopelessness that things will get better . I keep seeing videos online from post abortion healings and even written stories . They don’t give me much hope because a lot of these people still look sad and are crying which makes me so anxious im stuck like this forever . Unfortunately, I married someone way too quickly and he is controlling , demanding and intense. I married because I was too scared to break it off . Luckily , he has gotten better slightly but I had my abortion before our wedding . He doesn’t know about it and neither does anyone else except a priest and therapist I am talking to. Please , I need some hope things can get better and I am able to experience joy and happiness again. I don’t want this weight on me anymore
