READ MY STORY!!! IT WILL TOUCH YOUR HEART!!!

ive lived with this constant struggle for almost over 7 years and im tired of it. I am as hairy as hairy gets. its so embarrasing. im very pretty. its just all my hair that makes my self-confidence go down. let me explain to you my problem:
i have hair:
on my cheeks
above my lip (mustache)
around my ears
on my arms
on my hands
on my fingers
on my legs
under my armpits
on my stomach
on my feet
on my toes
on my chest
on my back
all around the privates
and anywhere else that hair can grow out of.

to top the all off, i have random thick black hairs:
on my neck
on my arms
on my stomach
on my cheeks
and on my shoulders.

its soo DISGUSTING!!! i shave, wax and even tweeze all my hairs. but they r too thick for cream hair removers. i can never just wear a tank top because i know that people are looking. my parents want me to wear flip flops but i dnt like to because even if i shave my toes, the hairs are so thick that they leave a shadow that is very noticable. all that i ever wear are sneakers because they hide my toes and it is one less problem that i have to worry about. i can never show my belly button because im so hairy. ive tried shaving, waxing, and even tweezing. but it always comes out red, irritated, and with nicks.

the worst part of all, is that 4 years ago, when my hair problem wasnt as bad, i decided to join the swim team at my school. it was fun and easy at first until i found myself having to shave every other day. its my senior year and even tho my hair is a huge problem, ive stayed on the swim team because i love swimming and competing. but the hair is just too much. i have to shave every single day. i cant shave the night before because it will be grown back by the next morning. so i have to wake up a whole hour earlier than i need to to shave practically my entire body. and even after that, right before practice, i always need to touch up a little bit.

i had a boyfriend but i never did anything because i didnt want him to find out about my problem. we r talking again now. we both like each other alot. and i want to take things to the next level. i want to do things that we have never done before. but my problem is holding me back.

i cant afford laser hair removal. ive entered contests to try to win some free sessions to see if my problem improve at least a tiny bit, but i never end winning anything.

this problem is not just affecting me. its affecting everyone around me. including my family. we took a vacation to the bahamas that my dads company paid for us. the whole time, i was far away from my family at the beach. i didnt want them to see my hairy, irritated skin. it hurt alot. i really wanted to spend time with them but it was just so embarassing. what hurt more was that they were saying thtiidnt want to spend time with them because i was going off by myself.

having this hair problem is driving me away from my family and loved ones. i am constantly thinking about what people are thinking when they look at me. i always wonder if they are looking at my monstrous hair. and if they say a comment regarding it, i get so pissed off. i dont want to. i try not too. but im just so self concious about it that anything at all triggers my anger.

this problem is not something to joke about at all. i respect anyone and everyone who is having to deal with this sort of problem. it is not something that should be taken lightly and it can even cause mental damage from suffering about it so much.

the sad part is, that it is so hard to talk about this problem with anyone else. i havnt even told my mom the full extent of my story and my problem. it hurts to know that i cant tell her because i tell her everything. but this is just a personal problem that is just too embarassing.

i hope that everyone out there with this horrible problem at least tries to live life to the fullest. i try. i try to be happy so that people cant tell that i am actually extremely depressed. i cry myself to sleep at night because i find alot of comfort in that.

please know that you are not alone. you have never been and you never will be.
