It is definitely possible that you meet a lovely girl who loves you and isn't the slightest bit put out by your body. However it won't happen while you hold yourself back from meeting people assuming the worst about them.
Have you spoken to your GP? What does he / she say about the condition? Would you be able to get treatment on NHS. (Sorry I don't know if the NHS is applicable in Eire)
Before you decide to have surgery, I would suggest that you might want to have some counselling first to come to terms with your body. That's not to say you wouldn't choose surgery at the end of it, but that you would be choosing the surgery from a position of strength and love for your body, rather than hating it. Speak to your GP about the help you can get. I'm sure there would be support for you.
How old are you btw? Is it something that gets better or worse as you age? |
Thanks for the post, Holistic Star, it's very kind of you. I haven't spoken to my GP, I'm wayyy too embarrassed. I can predict the reaction anyway: don't worry about it, it will improve, you'll be okay.
I just don't think that Ireland is the place to deal with this; I need to go to the UK.
I really don't need councelling - I'm quite strong minded and a naturally private person. But I appreciate the suggestion. I don't hate all of my body, just the glandular lumps under each nipple... I work out a lot, and so this is a blemish on an otherwise good body.
The NHS isn't applicable in Eire. Departing with a large chunk of my bank balance is something I'm willing to do.
I just want it done
right, and that's where my fears and questions lie: where do I go?
