Same here, Mugwort Psychonaut. Well, I waxed instead of using an epilator. And I wouldn't say I enjoyed the pain even after getting used to it, but I could feel my mood lifting as more and more hair came off, if that makes sense.
I've only had my upper body done so far. I actually cried with happiness when I looked at myself in the mirror - "Wow I wouldn't hate how I look wearing a V-neck or scoop-neck blouse!! If I get this done regularly I'll feel like this all the time!" My arms are next!
My SO is doing it for me with a home kit, but to get my face done I'll need to get an appointment with a professional - it hurts enough to make me wince up there, so he gets too nervous. He's afraid to hurt me, the poor dear. Maybe I'll try using an epilator myself.
