I'm 25 years old and just had my second baby around ovulation my health anxiety increases and I dig with my fingertips looking for lumps in boobs and always seem to find one their always movable and I just get in such a panic am I checking right should I have to dig to find a lump that hard I cannot stop and yes I have been to the doctors and took every step to try and make my anxiety better but it just won't go away I spend every evening worrying
Also 8 days till
My next period and think I'm just finished ovulating

I have ocd so I'm not going to tell you to stop worrying. It doesn't work like that. But, that's not the right way to check your breasts. You shouldn't have to dig for lumps. Plus breasts are lumpy. You have to push with your fingers to feel deep but not dig
