I feel disgusting

I have had hirsuitism since a teenager. I am trying my best to mange it but it makes me feel so horrible. It makes me feel so insecure and I think about it everyday it’s so exhausting. I’ve been getting electrolysis on my face and neck every 2/3 weeks for over a year and although there’s been a bit of improvement I still feel hopeless I feel like it’s going to be a never ending journey. I’ve lost over a stone and a half to try and see if that will help (it doesn’t). My gp has also said that I likely have PMOS because I have abnormal androgens. I’ve had 8 sessions of lazer on my body(the pain was excruciating) and have stopped for summer and now it’s growing back. I’m at my wits end. I know this is something I am never going to completely fix but I feel like an ogre. How do you all deal with the emotional side of things? When I saw an endocrinologist 3 months ago he referred me for lazer for my face and said come back in a year and if no improvements we can try spironolactone.
