Like I got another (5th) session of laser on my face and I look like I have really thick beard shadow, I know it’s temporary but I have a hard time looking into the mirror… Sadly shaving doesn’t do anything because the hair is under the skin. :( It’s a tough week but I’ve had worse <3

    I’m right there too. At first, I had big areas dropping out, and the bad shadow didn’t bother me as much because I was excited to see progress the following week. But lately I’m not seeing much progress, and it’s still thick and dark in places, so it feels like I’ve plateaued a bit. I’ll probably eventually switch to electrolysis, but it feels too early still. I’m trying to learn to accept myself. It’s not an overnight thing, it’s a transition, and I want to love myself even in my intermediate forms. But it isn’t always easy.

      Yes, that feeling like nothing is happening is dreadful…

      It’s going to get better! :)
