Breast worries

I'm hoping someone can help me. I suffer really bad with health anxiety and on the 23rd December I decided to poke at my breast and felt what I think is a lump but then on the other hand I tell myself it's breast tissue. I've been to the breast clinic multiple times a few year ago and was told I have fibrocystic breasts. My right breast is bigger and lumpier than the left and I'm always afraid to feel it. Anyway today I've had a breakdown I feel like all I do is make time to poke and prod. I can squish it and it feels really small too. I just can't get the big C out my head but I'm also too scared to go to my gp

Go to the GP, get checked out at the breast clinic then get some help for your health anxiety. X

I'm trying to stop with the obsessing and keeping busy. If I'm still feeling the same next week I'll see my gp. Today has been a better day. When I feel it it moves and I can squish it so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

I've been to the gp and she said what she feels just feels like fibrocystic breasts which I've already been told I had years ago. She said I won't be seen probably for about 6-8 weeks as it's not an urgent referral. I'm hoping to try and put it to the back of my mind for now. She's also made me an appointment for a councillor which I have next Thursday

Back to being a mess. I got my appointment through this week for the breast clinic. It's for a week on Monday which I feel is really quick from when the gp referred me. Should I worry that I've had this appointment through so soon?

Does anyone else’s breasts feel different compared to lying down and standing?
I feel more standing and bending over than lying down.
