For me it's the fear of loosing those around me that I care for. People are often afraid of what they don't understand & will reject you & this is something that bothers me.
Personally I wouldn't recommend Transformation unless you've got a very deep wallet.
If you can make it as far as Bolton, try Dee Selecta.
There's Makeovergirl in Chorley.
I can personally...
That's one of the reasons I've never pushed the issue with them. I let them make the first move to ask more about Carla.
Hopefully this will be the next step in accepting who I am & feeling more...
Last November I confided in my best mate & his wife & told them about Carla.
They were both supportive, but have never really brought the subject up much since.
I'd occasionally mention to them...
Hi Leah, welcome to the forum.:)
I can only really echo what others have said. Don't be afraid to shop in normal shops, the sales staff have always been professional whenever I've shopped in 'guy'...
Hey Anna, great to meet you at Dee's on Saturday. :)
I was the girl who arrived at the club after my shopping trip to Chester.
It's great that you enjoyed your first time & you were far more brave...
I don't think there is a right or wrong way. Only you will know how, depending on who you are telling.
I told my best mate about Carla last November. He has told his wife as they don't keep secrets...
I really need to start taking a camera with me when I go out dressed. My phone does have a camera, but it's c#*p. I still don't have a smartphone with a good camera.
I think it's great when I see...
Well I'm just hoping to spur others on.
I'd read other peoples stories on here & never thought I'd get there myself.
I'm really becoming more comfortable within myself & it's amazing how relaxed...
Over the past year or so I've come along way in my journey of self discovery.:D
From being so deep in the closet you wouldn't believe it, through to dressing infront of others for the first time...
Rachel, it was great to see you at Dee's today & congratulations on making that first big step.:thumbsup:
You certainly looked great.
As I mentioned to you, my first time was just over 12 months...
I can't really add much more than has already been mentioned. Although I can add that I've started to wear Garnier BB cream most days to soften & even out any imperfections to my facial skin.
So far...
Congratulations Nichola. :thumbsup:
Great feeling aint it! :D
I got nervous when people seemed to be looking at me when out, but had to remember what I'd been told: People look at other people on...
Well, I had my telephone consultation today.
They asked me a load of questions about what was bothering me. They then asked a series of questions to which I had to score the answers (0 to 3)...
Thanks everyone for you kind words of encouragement.:hugs:
I've messaged my mate this morning & got a reply. He's told his wife & she is as supportive as he is. They both appreciate what I've told...
He is. We've grown up together. He's moved to a different town now as he's married with kids.
I don't expect too much from him & if & when he wants to, I'll answer any questions from him.
I...
I've been in a bit of a 'dark place' recently.
I've been signed off work with depression & work related stress & just started on anti-depressants. I've had a stressfull 6 months at work. The stress...
Congratulations from another fellow escapee from their closet.
There certainly seems to be quite a few of use making that big first leap recently.:D
Guilty. Yes I'm a member of another site.:o
This site is still the number 1 for me though.:)
Some of your story is similar to mine & it's exactly a year to the day that I decided that I no longer wanted to suppress Carla & live in denial. It's a year to the day that I visited Dee Selecta, a...
Hi Rachel, yes it was me. Glad we made you feel at ease.
Hopefully you'll pop along to Dee's again soon. I've got your friend request & if you want to talk or have any questions, just message me...
Canal Street certainly has been an important stepping stone for me. Getting me out in the presence of others before making the leap to getting out in general public away from the safety of Canal...
Did what? I hear you say.:heehee:
Long post alert.
I've not been an active member of the forum for 6 months, so bear with me whilst I re-cap a little.
I'm still in the closet to friends, family,...
Joebee,
Dee can usually fit you in at short notice. Don't worry about being nervous...remember that any other girls you meet there will have been where you are now. Everyone remembers where they...
