Has anyone had the desire to get breasts removed postpartum?

So I'm trying to get perspective before blindly talking to a therapist about something that may or may not be her expertise. So before pregnancy, I was relatively healthy, active and took pride in my boobs as a feature of myself( a 38/40 D to DD). Ever since I got pregnant and currently I'm 10 months postpartum, I just desire to have my breasts removed. It's not that I feel they are ugly. For one I've been dealing with alot of pain, first few months I had to go to physical therapy for neck and shoulders and continue to have pain in also my back and down, and it makes it hard to lose weight. I've been measured and bras are more than torture devices even in the right size. They hurt and I've had them pop out at work which is a physical job. I also have trauma, during the time I was ok with my body I was shamed alot in public, and I feel my body after pregnancy brings more or wrong attention and it keeps me from wanting to go outside ( which is weird because I used to not care about what incels and jealous girls thought). My husband says I should concider a reduction and he even said it would be nice to have something to hold on to, but I don't think he gets it because he feels it's my past body dysmorphia, but deep down I know how feel about my breasts is alot different, in fact I think the body dysmorphia took a side seat and comfort quality of life is in the forefront of my mind. By what my husband said, it makes me feel invalidated.

Can someone give me thier 2 cents? Or experiance? I won't feel invalidated by what ya'll got to say, I promise as I'm asking a forum.
