Basically I have deep dark circles under my eyes (genetic), I've spend large amount of money trying to fix it but I've gotten no where, I've spoken with plastic surgents, general doctors, dermatologists, herbalists and even practitioners of Chinese medicine. Yet nothing.

I've been taking anti depressants and going to therapy but I feel like I'm not getting anywhere on that front. At the moment I believe I am unattractive and I get the feeling ...

With one word and give an explanation of why you chose that word and if someone else were to do the same for you, what would they say?
