I'm 18, and always had low self-esteem. Lately I've noticed my breasts have changed from what they used to be, which was more round and perky to me. My weight has fluctuated a little bit (10 lbs above/below my normal weight) and I've started taking birth control pills in the last year and have switched from multiple medicines for my mental health (Prozac, lamotrigine).
