Living with Hirsutism

     Recently I found a post on beauty brains about hirsutism. If you don't know, its when women have a lot of body hair due to a hormone imbalance. It can be caused by cysts or tumors in the ovaries, but also just one of those random life things.
I'm writing about this because I have hirsutism. If you go to the link there are tons of comments from women with hirsutism. Its kind of interesting because I've never heard anyone who had this condition. For some reason I'm not as upset about it as them though. I think its a combination of confidence and not having as severe condition.
     I know a lot of women are ashamed to have hair on their legs or armpits, even though thats totally normal. So when some women become hirsute its a disaster. Seriously, some of these women are talking about how their lives are a "dark void" or that they have considered killing themselves. I know people can be cruel, but at the same time I kinda feel like some women are blaming too much of their problems. One woman said she's missed out on relationships and having children because of her body hair. I don't know much about dating, but I really liked the tip from raven that its easy to date when you have confidence (she says shes had little problem finding a date since she had become self confident and she has a beard).
     I also don't really have problems because I only have fine hair on my thighs, (significant) hair on my stomach, some hair on my boobs, kinda sideburns (but I think some "normal" women have this too), and thick eyebrows (which I like and are in fashion) that kinda grow into my hairline (also not the worst). I'm so thankful I don't have arm hair. In the summer I shave my legs and I don't wear clothes that expose my stomach (who does?). Yeah I'm nervous for the time when I'll be naked in front of other people, but I also have my other body hang ups. Like everyone else.
     I'm starting to realize that I can't really find people to relate to (this should be a longer post for another time). I've always wanted to meet other hairy women like me, but I can't even relate to these women. I only feel kind of bad about all my hair. I've never considered killing myself. The most drastic thing I would do is getting laser hair removal. In the mean time I'm going to shave and keep my clothes on.
