Hello,
I'm really sorry to hear that you are depressed i think we all just have those days (well sometimes weeks and months!!!). I also have excessive hair growth (well it is more like pubic hair!!) on my tummy, breasts, face, the list goes on!! if i let it grow i have the general appearance of a gorrilla!! I have found that the best way for me was to spend about a week just not going anywhere and let the hair grow long enough to wax and then i use a hair removal cream. It is a fairly new one on the market and it is designed just to remove a small amount of hair ie use just to "keep on top of " the hair growth if you get what i mean. I've found that using this i can go for about 3-4 days with no visible hair growth before i have to do it again. It is also a lot quicker than normal hair removal creams the instructions say leave it on for 5 mins so i leave it for 10-15 mins and then it just showers off. To apply it you just use the little sponge that comes with it. Its really simple and works wonders for me, I've used it for about 12 months and it has certainly kept the once uncontrollable hair at bay!!!
Hope things get better for you and i will be thinking of you
