I was crying after reading all of your replies.
I have the same problem, I know it's probably not as bad, but still every day when I wake up and get into the bath it's all I think about.
I wear long sleeved tops, trousers and trainers all the damn time. I usualy wear gloves aswell.
I had a boyfriend a couple of years back, and he told me I was beautiful and I shouldn't worry about it. And he would do his best to show me he didnt care about it. [I dont like sayingit but im refering to the areas of hair aka EVERYWHERE]
But some guy I had never met said to me in a shop "Wow..Your so hairy"
...
I was like "..Thanks.."
So I thought if a total stranger, can judge me like that..Why the hell should I bother trying to love myself.
I've never shaved my arms or face/back etc cause I was told it would make them worse, but when I bleach the hair I feel so relieved..Untill I have to do it again..and again...
What annoys me is that If I didn't have the hair, I would think I was really nice looking, I just cant grasp the feeling of being pretty. Guess I never will.
But reading that there are others like me, made it easyer, cause I dont think theres anything wrong with it, its just when some ass puts me down I will be down for ages. But I have a boyfriend now and he's also said he doesnt mind, and that he thinks I am very pretty. So I will just listen to him, and not what anyone else says.
I am so glad I found this site. You all rule. ^_^
