What happens when you don't crossdress often enough?

[evadan]

I can never get the house to myself to spend time en femme. It has been a very long time since I was able to get completely dressed up. Also, I purged my all my feminine things back then. Thankfully, now my wife buys lingerie for me and has talked about clearing out a drawer for me in her dresser. I hope she will be ok if I enhance my wardrobe with a bra or two, shoes and some dresses, etc. Wishful thinking but it keeps me going. Then if I can just get the kids out of the house...

[Kelly Greene]

I get emotional and depressed.
It is not a fun place to be.

Well first I have to shave the palms, and clean my glasses, then when I have done that I will find away to start an argument with someone, just to blow off steam. Now none of this really helps, but it is expected. Really I just get moody and quite, and everything gets to me. Little things become big worries, and I too have a hard time with the fools of the world, and yes Sarah, it's not just you, there does seem to be a lot more of them at those times. Fortunately I don't find myself in that position all that often anymore. My wife would much rather see me in a dress, as to see me in a snit.

I just won't stop thinking about it till I get into a skirt

[Madilyn A.]

[SIZE="4"]Like the rest of us, I become miserable and the repercussions spill over into the rest of my life. Over the last month or so, several of my on-line friends have sent PMs regarding my inactivity....... I thought my recent reply was appropriate for this thread :..............."You are so thoughtful, thank you for thinking of me.......I am fine. Just readjusted my priorities over the late summer. Since the beginning of summer, my opportunities to dress became very limited. I only fully dressed on one occassion. My stress level seemed to increase each day I was unable to dress. I finally realized by late summer that, I was missing out not only on dressing, but also the enjoyment of spending time with my grandchildren and children, as well as my wife. The reason was my focus on NOT having time to dress was making me miserable. So after much thought, I realized due to schedule changes more time would become available for Madilyn and the life long "pink fog" effects us more and less throughout our lives. So I chose to focus on what I had as opposed to what I did not have, with the knowledge that the fog will descend on me like a ton of undeniable bricks ! So, right now Madilyn is content to crossdress as a male. So as I said I am fine right now."[/SIZE]

Uptight and frustrated. My fantasies start working overtime to make up for it.

[Christy_M]

I am in the same boat as many others who get moody, cranky, short tempered, depressed, frustrated, etc. My wife doesn't approve and so I have to plan time for Christy. I had a SUnday plan all laid out and my wife decided to leave the kids home from church so Christy didn't get her time.

[Rachel Morley]

Fortunately this doesn't happen to me that often as I'm lucky that my blending of girl and guy clothes (outside of work) helps to satisfy me and keep me at peace with myself but if I can't or don't have the opportunity to dress fully and let's say I haven't dressed fully for perhaps two weeks ..... then I get like others have said, I get stressed, and I have anxiety, and I'm irritable.

[Kari Lynn Franks]

have you ever heard of blue balls? I get blue boobs when I dont get to dress.lol

[Hali]

Its like having an itch that you cant scratch. The anticipation builds over time, Getting ever more stressful. Until your able to express your inner feelings, Ah.... relif.
Why, Oh why, Must dressing be so unacceptable by the mainstream.

Perfectly said. When i dont dress due to time contraints or i face rejection from my femme expression the following week am likely to be a bit grouchy.

[eluuzion]

you[/I] feel when you don't get (or deny yourself) an opportunity to dress up? Please be as specific as you can.
Jessie

Well, the short answer is this...

The same thing that happens after swimming in a cold pool...just like the episode of Seinfeld where George Castanza's date walked in on him while he was changing clothes right after he went swimming...hehehe

Hi Jessie - I know what it's like to not get enough CDing time. I tend to get cranky and feel more stressed out. This happened recently from mid-August until just recently. My parents needed some extra care giving and my sister and I were the ones who had to provide it.

Surfice it to say it was stressful and bring Maggie out to play was not a possibility even though I needed her that much more. Fortunately I've been able to be out more the last week or so. I really feel a little Maggie time each day does me well.

For those who don't know I have Stage 4 Colon cancer ... metastisized to lymph nodes. Spending time as Maggie helps me deal with the cancer treatments and all the stress of the disease. I even dress partially as maggie while recieving chemo treatments, the nurses have been so supportive.

hugs - maggie

I can't go more than a couple of days lately. I love it so much. I get very angry and resentful that I am prevented from doing it by 1. My wife being around and not wanting it while she is around, or 2. Working two jobs. I get so little time to dress and it is contrasting with a hugely renewed desire to be my girl self. I want be my girl self all the time so any time I am not... just feels wrong.

[PretzelGirl]

I don't understand. What is "not dressing often enough"?

[Karinsamatha]

[SIZE=7]Bitchy !!![/SIZE]

Yup that's me! when I don't get to dress, and be myself!

[adrienner99]

I have not been able to dress for quite a long time.

I feel like I am not being true to who I am.

[Kelly Blaine]

I really become unsettled.

[sometimes_miss]

What happens when you don't crossdress often enough?

Simple. I become increasingly short tempered and have difficulty focusing on tasks, have difficulty with short term memory, well I basically just become cranky. Kind of like if you're walking around with a stone in your shoe that you can't remove.

[erika_s]

Becoming Erika takes me a lot of Time and energy. Just *knowing* that I can crossdress is enough when I have little time for me. It is the case since three months.

[Suzette Muguet de Mai]

Sigh, I get depressed, and a lil bit cranky. Especially when I just took a while to decide to buy a nice dress and made the decision to buy and I open a magazine and I see another one I just adore at half the price. Or I cannot make a decision between a number of items on which I want to get, Or I get something finally and I have not got a chance to try it on. Or major like, when I am in male mode and I see a woman with a gorgeous top and I stare, it becomes problematic cos she thinks I am staring at her, but I am looking with envie at her top. Like that becomes a real drag for me. So I have got to get home, and dress in my favourite clothes and settle down, if I have to stay in male mode............SULK.

[Sharon B.]

Irritable, gain weight, male PMS, will stress out over simple things.

[Claire Cook]

All of the above. Dressing kick-starts my day!

[Kylie666]

Well with times hard down here i am unemployed and have no money, Back living with my mom and brother so i have no time to myself at all, As my brother is right next to my room, I try dressing at best once a week when he goes to bed, I just put on a Wig,Bra,makeup etc in my room here in the past few days it's been real bad and i hate not being able to just walk out all dressed up.

My Girlfriend is considerate and understanding of me dressing up but every time i try and talk to her about it i get the feeling she does not wish to talk about it even when she tells me that she's ok with it.
Everyday i wish that just once she would come to me and start talking about girls stuff or take me shopping etc etc but she never does
