Hirsutism is ruining my life, what can I do?

I have hirsutism and its really getting me down. I'm 17 and ever since I was about 15 I've had really excessive dark hair on my stomach, lower back, ocks.. even on my and around my . I just know that anyone who sees it will be repulsed.. I have to cover up even in summer and I doubt I'll ever be able to have much of a life due to feeling so self concious. I've tried most hair removal methods.. shaving leaves it stubbly and dark shadows under the skin.. I'm too self concious to get waxed at a salon and the home kits don't work well for me. I don't want to be applying harsh hair removal creams constantly. I don't want to get medication for it since I've heard too many bad things about synthetic hormones - I'd rather live with it than risk damaging my health. But at the same time its causing me so much distress and I hate to think I'll have to live with it forever. I'd appreciate any advice on how to deal with this embarring problem.
