I Have Gigantomastia

The past few weeks have been really rough on me, both physically and emotionally. And I have no one to rely on for support. I would confide in my mom except she is partially responsible for how I feel. I used to have a confidant who always helped me through these times. Because he wasn’t family and his deceased wife had suffered gigantomastia, I could confide in him on numerous issues I can’t with others. I always felt like a burden to him. He would always give me courage and perspective when I wanted to do nothing but feel sorry for myself. I corresponded with him through an online support group community that has become defunct. I gave him my email address but I haven’t heard from him since. I feel like he left me because I became too much for him to take. I wish he would get in touch with me…

Or maybe he was afraid to contact you in a non-anonymous way. Maybe he will find you some day. It always use to bother me when the guys would come into the support groups and try to hit on women just because their disease causes them to be really well endowed up top. I don't think they realize how much pain women with this disease go through. I'm still praying For you young lady.

You're so right. Any man who says no size is too big should walk a mile in your shoes.

I never realized how many people objectify those with a disease until I started looking for help for you. In my zeal to find you a support group I found several sexual fetishes that revolve around it and then I would go in and research the forums and I was appalled at some of the comments I saw from men trying to get their jollies.I can see why you said you feel isolated. I wish people would stop to think about the person behind the screenname... The person beyond the disease. I'm not giving up. I want to find you a supportive group so much. (no humor intended)

I think I know the person of whom silentwhisper speaks. He was a friend on mine on EP and a real sweetie. I'll not mention his name here because I assume if he wanted to be known he would be on this site. He encouraged me greatly as well. Many thanks to you guys who are genuinely concerned about us MM women as people and not objects of sexual gratification.

Having grown up in a family where I was the only son with 4 sisters, 4 aunts, my mom and grandma all suffering from the same affliction. Neither ever suffered emotionally from it but I guess those were different times. It is however important to have a good support group, people who care and that will listen. People can be cruel sometimes but i'd like to think it isn't intentional but rather it's through a lack of understanding. Remember the guy or gal that would make cruel remarks or objectify you would do so to others not afflicted with your disorder, it's just their nature.

The you that's inside is so much more important than the you that's on the outside. I know that it's easy for me to say, but understand that some of us both male and female have suffered with a low self esteem at a younger age and came through it and I'm confident you will as well. I'm sure that you're a beautiful person inside and out but it will take time for you to realize it.
Like I tell my daughter who suffers from the same disorder, be strong.
Here's a great big hug. 🤗

It's so nice to have a confidant that understands. Mine died in an accident. And, yes, she dealt with serious body issues, too. It's just so rough sometimes.

It's not easy to find someone who will truly listen to your thoughts, fears, and general feelings.

I hope you find someone like that very soon - you deserve it.

I know that many men from the old support groups were on EP as well, maybe he will find his way here? I hope so, for your sake, having lost my own confidant, I understand the loneliness that sudden separation causes. With any luck, this section of the site will evolve in a more helpful manner than it did on EP.

There are those willing to talk, you may have to be brave though. Cause you are going to find the five hundred creeps, before you find the golden person who wishes to actually just talk.

Support can be found, and there are those who do wish to be of help.

Wow, so sad that such a good support system left. I hope things are better today and someone is there for you

Someone did me the same way.

How long have they been growing and how big are they now. You look to be a pretty petite girl. Having any kind of condition is always hard. Speaking from experience.

I remember that guy. Such a sad story. He was so supportive to his wife and lost her so young. Every woman with your condition needs a man like him.
