How Do You Feel When You Dress Up?

[jackie_p]

Used to feel guilty, like I was doing something wrong. I gave that up years ago. Now I just feel happy, content, relaxed.

I gave up this "struggle" years ago. Now I just enjoy the experience!

[Tina_gm]

My best description would be relaxed.

[larissa-laurie]

I can't help feeling exhilarated. Like today, first time in a long time I enjoyed my lingerie touching me, my skirt and blouse, etc. I just feels super and I can't get enough of it but closet life is all I have to look forward basically. I have enjoyed all my lingerie under my work clothes periodicaly but even that has to be done carefully. I love dressing up like a sexy lady and imagining I look that way too, even though reality says otherwise.

I do it during scheduled "downtime". Mornings or a day off. Life is too short for guilt!

[Wanna be Heather]

Simply become myself. Dresses are preferred over pants, skirts second. Sleeping in a soft nighty even with my wife is so comforting and makes me get that lovely femme nine feeling. I wake up with a big smile

[lindsey89]

I would say I feel amazing. It is definitely how I prefer to present my self. No guilt for me.

[Karmen]

I feel happy. When I go out, I'm a little nervous and scared too.

Thanks everyone, for the wonderful responses and great advice. I found myself nodding in agreement at most everything you all said. A little background, I have been on the forum before but away for the last year due to unemployment. The bills are now finally caught up, but I dropped out for awhile, did no dressing, sold all by female stuff, and focused on the job hunt for a long time. Now I've got a great job, and I'm happily back at the dressing. In the past, I've traveled for a week at a time with only female items along. That was such fun, and I'd love to do it again. Still, I have the feeling that my dressing and money and time spent on being Paula may have cost me some of the jobs I've lost during the recession. I also care for a disabled wife on the weekends and travel several hours each week to an apartment in the town where I now work, while aides care for my wife during the week. I dress female every evening at the apartment, and now I'm much happier (again). I will never quit being who I am, but I honor my commitments, so the guilt pops up sometimes, I'm afraid. I appreciate all your support, and will never forget to put "my oxygen mask on first" and to minimize the "musterbation", as several of you advised. Luv, Paula

:I feel feminine, and I'm pretty sure that's the whole point of the exercise.

It's so easy to get caught up in doing stuff. That I need to keep myself busy or I'm being lazy. These messages were drummed into me as a child. But I realized later in life I also need to make the time to relax and smell the roses so to speak, enjoy life with the little things. That doing nothing is also a positive in my life. That loving myself first gives me the strength to love others. I still need to be responsible for what I do and fail to do. But it also means forging myself of my mistakes and striving to do better.

Everyday I try to take that attitude with me and enjoy each precious moment of life. Dressing as my true self is something I do every day from morning until night, this special gift I've been blessed with. So... how do I feel? I feel fine.
