When I walk into a room, the first thing everyone notices is my breasts. I’ve been cursed with 44DD’s. I hate my upper body. I can’t do any sport, I suffer from constant back pain. I can’t even sleep without a bra on.
I was an early bloomer, I started wearing bras in 4th grade, years before my classmates did. In PT, I was always finding some excuse to not participate, mostly because I didn’t want to get undressed in front of everyone. I hated the fact that I was wearing a bra and everyone else was flat chested.
In high school, it was the same. I was always the one sitting out during school sports events because my humongous boobs spoiled everything 🙁
No matter what kind of bras I buy, it doesn’t alleviate the pain. My back, shoulders and neck are constantly sore. Sports bras, nursing bras, even Woolworths ‘minimizer’ bras, NOTHING WORKS.
I start my mornings with at least 4 different painkillers. I’ve looked into breast reduction surgery, unfortunately, it is seen as cosmetic surgery and medical aid does not cover any cosmetic surgery. Summer time is unbearable, I’m constantly sweating under my breasts and to be honest, it’s bloody disgusting.
With the sweating comes chafing, and with chafing comes sore inflamed skin. Being from Paarl, we have severe summers.
I’m tired of being tired and sore all day, every day.
Please help me.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
