I'm terribly shy about my body.
People tell me I look great and sure... With CLOTHES on, I look just fine.
I'm not over/under weight or anything.
My main problem of my shyness are my breasts.
Last time I went for a breast exam...
-my second one :: I'm 18::-
I cried so hard because I did'nt want the doctor to see me.
I HATE the way my chest looks.
I feel terrible about it.
I don't even let my boyfriend -whome I've had sex with- see me completely naked.
People tell me my boobs are probably fine, but they have NO IDEA what they look like.
-I've lost and gained weight a few times, all the stretching and deflating in places did'nt do my body good.-
I hate it when people say they're jelous of my body, because I know if they actually seen me naked they'de be like, "OMG YOU BEASTLY THING!" D:<
Or something of the sort.
Plastic surgen?
Therapist?
Should I be on medication?
Who should I go to about this?

It sounds like some therapy would probably help your situation - especially since you listed it as an option, so I'm guessing you have already thought about it. A negative body image can easily translate into a confidence/depression issue, which is a tough thing to deal with sometimes. (Lots of us have been there.)
If you are having trouble finding someone to start talking to about this, I'd say call your doctor and just ask them for a list of therapists that they can recommend. The hardest part is always taking the first step! Good luck!

I have had 3 children and on my 4th. Gaining and loosing weight will do that to your body. For some people coco butter lotion works with the stretch marks and some say it doesnt. You dont need help, you just need to say "fu** it, gotta get this done anyways, might as well do it now." Ya know what I mean....No matter how much you put anything off eventually it will be back again, and then you'll be stuck...See what I mean,,,So try to just deal with it, and believe your man, if he says they are beautiful then believe him...He is possibly telling the truth....All that my poor body has been through with 3 kids, man stretch marks I can tell ya about.

Try therapy with a woman therapist. If you and the therapist think medication is needed, you will need to see a psychiatrist (MD) or a psychiatric advanced nurse practioner for medication management. You DO NOT need plastic surgery! You need to work on your self image and self esteem. Always remember that true beauty starts with who you are inside. I would rather be a beautiful soul in a plain wrapper than a gift-wrapped ugly soul. Let your inner beauty shine!
Wishing you the courage you need to seek help, and the wisdom to follow through....you CAN do it.

Therapist! I'm 65 and still not happy with my stomach but I'v accepted it as much as I can . Now I have much more serious health conditions to worry about . At your age I felt the same way about my breasts but after having 5 babies I became well endowed. They were never good enough for me but the GUYS loved em so take the compliments with joy and con't be so hard on your self.

I think that everybody has something about thier body that bothers them. My everyone thinks my body is great, I'm 5'8 and 160 lbs. My boyfriend loves it. Why? Beats me. Iv'e had three kids, I think my breasts are too big and sag. And one is bigger than the other (I am told that that is normal). I have a "baby" belly. You are only 18, and I bet you are very pretty. Don't worry about it, you are probably just a little more self-consious than most. Like me!

I suggest you go to a counselor, a female, and have some talk therapy. I think you are being overly sensitive about your breasts and need to understand nobody looks like a playboy bunny...not even the bunnies. All that is airbrushed. All women have uneven breasts, stretch marks, sagging, etc.

Don't listen to any of that crap about therapy. If your boobs look bad, a therapist can't make them look better. See a plastic surgeon. I'm not being cruel, just honest.

You have a negative body image. I am sure you know that you can use professional mental help. Nothing to be ashamed of, this is rather common.
