Pcos and struggling

Hi everyone, I've been diagnosed with pcos for about 5 years I'm now 30 and only getting more hairy.

I've tried everything laser, electrolysis, waxing, it's driving me insane I can't afford anymore as my financial status right now is not great. It's mentally also draining.

I found the pill seriously helped with this! ive recently come off the pill before Christmas and I have to was every 2 weeks its exhausting and gross/ my hair seems to be growing like crazy! my facial hair legs tummy hair is back-the pill was amazing for seriously reducing the hair and improving my skin.

If you find any remedies, please let me know! I have to shave every day (arms, legs, armpits, etc.) as my hair growth is ridiculous! I got my hair cut into a bob in March 2017 and now my hair has grown and it's all the way down my back. You're right, it is mentally draining but when you explain this to your doctor, they look at you like you're crazy! :(
