Macromastia making my life hell!

Heya ladies, I could really use some advice and support.

I've always had bigger boobs than my friends since school and remember the awkward questions and lessons about puberty and how our body changes. I'd be happy if it stopped then, but I guess my girls had other plans..

In the past year I've been slowly but surely ballooning in size. At first I didn't think much of it. I thought to myself it's a laundry mishap and my top was slightly shrunk from the wash, but now I can't ignore the signs. My back is hurting, my boobs are sensitive, and of course, still growing. Now, I can't go out of my house without the constant staring on the street, the struggle of finding clothes that fit, and having to splash out on custom bras every other month (which isn't cheap!) is a nightmare. I'm feeling low and starting to hate myself in the mirror.

Surgery isn't an option for me at this time, meanwhile I'm still growing and I don't know how to handle the pressure that I'm still getting bigger.

What else is there that I could do?

I think finding a social environment that gives you permission to go topless would be something useful to search for, if you're looking for some sort of relief from the pressure of people who judge you for your ever-growing size. A s long as it's welcoming, and function as a breathing room from the struggles of it all, you can give yourself permission to love yourself, and your breasts.

It could be physical or virtual if that's what you desire, but that's what I suggest at least. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
