Ok, I can't really come up with any practical advice. I know that lots of women have mismatched breasts, although in your case it sounds a little more pronounced, and maybe harder because you are small to begin with. Mine are different sizes too, but not TOO noticeable, and I'm usually a B, so it's ok. I can understand how it's hard to find bras and swimsuits though, because I have a good friend who is completely flat, and she hates it.
As for what options there are besides implants...I don't know. But speaking to a professional is a good step. I can understand not feeling comfortable talking to your mom. If I were to talk to my mom about a problem like that---although she loves me dearly---she'd try to convince me it's not important, and I should be happy with who I am. But sometimes that's REALLY hard to do.
But you SHOULD talk about it, and if you start with a doctor, so be it. Maybe she will have some options you aren't aware of.
As for intimate situations, well, like most happily married or attached women, my instinct is to say that a good guy won't care. But I'm a realist: just cause he might not care, doesn't mean you don't, and sometimes insecurity can be a huge roadblock to physical intimacy. So I don't have a solution for you, but I wanted to say you're not crazy for feeling the way you do, and I hope talking to the doctor will help you in some way. Just go in there telling yourself you're going to completely open up---and it's ok if you cry, you wouldn't be the first to cry at a doctor's appointment!!
