Mostly making this bc I felt my comment below didn't deserve its own post as such.

      I feel you, it's a hard cycle because I feel calmer and less anxious when I do have the energy to remove it, but when I'm already doing bad I don't have the energy to fix it and I can get stuck in a loop.

      Transition is a marathon and not a sprint. Recently when I've been getting really stuck, I remind myself that I will probably complete laser in the next couple of years & HRT will make my hair less pronounced too. That while I don't have the steam to do anything about it right now, it will get better, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

      Have you tried an IPL if it's body hair, I found it to be mindblowingly effective (if you have light skin). Like, a week of growth on my legs now is essentially less than a mm of hair. I've only had 4 or 5 sessions and I'm like finding it hard to motivate myself to keep going because it's so effective lol
