Getting sick

hi everyone. This is my first time posting on this site so I’m not sure if I can get my point right. I was made to take the caretaker position in my family since my teenage years and it really got myself in a position where I feel ashamed of giving myself the priority. I take care of my mom who has health issues that needs help in moving around and I sometimes babysit my nieces and nephews. So I’m always required to be ready to help. Recently I found a lump on my breast and I fear that it might be serious, but what scares me most is that if it’s really that bad then I don’t have anyone who will take care of me. I can’t even hold a job due to depression, therefore I’m broke. So life is bleak nowadays and I don’t really have someone to talk to who can understand my feelings.

please don’t worry too much but please see your doctor immediately. It might not be what you fear, breast cancer, and it could be a harmless cyst. But if it is serious the earlier it’s caught the better the outcome. Could one of your sisters or brothers help you with your mum if required? You need to think of yourself and get checked
