I don’t usually post, I mostly just lurk, but I really needed to say this somewhere people would actually get it.

I’ve been feeling really low lately because of my hair growth (PCOS has been such a nightmare to deal with), and I had my last laser session recently… and it just broke me a bit. I literally cried after the appointment. The pain was so intense this time, way worse than I expected, and all I could think about was how much money I’ve spent over the years trying to fix this. And it feels like I have barely anything to show for it.

It’s exhausting. Financially, physically, emotionally… all of it.

But then I came back here and started reading through people’s posts and journeys with electrolysis. Seeing others talk about the same frustrations, the slow progress, the wins, the setbacks… it genuinely made me feel less alone.

Because of this sub, I’ve actually decided to restart my electrolysis journey again. (Stopped in 2024, mostly cos of the cost) I’m still scared, and honestly a bit discouraged, but I feel more hopeful going into it this time. And I’d really love to share my progress here too, even if it’s slow.

So yeah… I’m just really grateful for this sub. It helped me more than I expected today. Thank you all for sharing your experiences. It matters more than you probably realize 🤍
