Hi everyone,
I've had HA for many years - it's got better over the last 4 or so as I have learned coping mechanisms. However, I really struggle with checking my boobs... I just can't bring myself to check them because I'm afraid of finding something. I'm almost 40 and this last week a family friend passed away from breast cancer so I know I need to start taking greater responsibility... But checking them beyond a quick brush over just makes me feel awful (had inappropriate touching as a child and think it's linked to that). I hope that makes sense... Does anyone have similar? Or offer any tips or advice in how to deal with this issue? Thanks
