I'm always worrying myself to fatigue about my looks. I used to be an ugly duckling when I was a teenager, and now people seem to find me more attractive. It's true that I'm not used to too much attention. It has made me worry a lot about my appearance that I think of the worse scenarios happening to me. Since I am naturally hirsute, I am undergoing laser hair removal to remove hair from my face. Honestly, it's THE best thing that has happened to me! But, it has also made me be too anxious to follow every word of the doctor's advise, like not to remove hair from my face during the course. I used to be someone for whom plucking hair was as normal and easy as brushing the teeth, so I'm kinda used to it. But, now I'm afraid of even washing my face or touching the chin for the fear of unconciously removing hair. Even if I don't actually do it, I keep imagining that I have. I get depressed for hours, even days,when this happens. I am afraid of myself now. I don't trust myself anymore.HELP!
