anyone else getting self concious/depressed over excess skin?

I know this is going to sound strange to some of you - but I am nearly 1 year post op and have lost 200 lbs. I have about 60 more to go. I have so much excess skin that I am beginning to look deformed, everything hangs by several inches. It is difficult to look at and I find myself becoming overly self concious and a little depressed about my appearance. I know, I know - its still better than the 438lb body I started with!!! but seriously, I am really having some issues with this. Has anyone else experienced this?
