Do you dress in fem more when things are not going right?

[Gurly]

Unfortunately I suffer from pretty severe depression, which in turn completely takes away the urge of dressing. Even those days when I am not so "down" I'll dress but it doesn't last long. Depression takes away the "pull" of crossdressing for me. It sucks.

[Paula G]

I have dressed when I was feeling stressed and it does seem to help, but when I'm feeling down or depressed I don't feel like dressing, even though I still have the desire.

[krisla]

I dress as an escape, in the past it seemed to escalate under stress, but now things are good and I find myself still dressing? I just like being a girl! stessed or not.

[Angie G]

NO if the reasonwere that I'd be dressed more then 24/7

Over the year's I've noticed that I more actively dress as my stress level increases.

I get depressed when I can't dress.

REeally it don't matter if things are going bad i will just dress when i want no matter when are why. Bad or good and i don't have many bad days.

When I'm not OK for what reason ever dressing makes me feel better. But I do dress differently when I feel well and I put on more makeup too

[Hali]

No better pick me up then shoe shopping in heels

For me dressing can make a bad day much better and a good day really great.

I am not working at the moment and single so I can dress every day (in the closet). However when I am having a bad day the dressing takes on a more theraputic feeling. It really does relax and calm me.

[FrancineCD]

When I am having a bad day I find myself wanting to be dressed femme. I too find it calming and relaxing.

To Bob's mind, things are seldom going *right* - so many responsibilities and uncertainties.

Once dressed, Roberta *knows* everything has been just fine.

I wish could spend my working life as Sandra, as I'm convinced she would cope better than he does.

When I need to relax ther is nothing like a skirt and a pair of heels to melt away the stress.

I feel the same way Kelly.When i'm bored i tend to dress more also.Home alone with nothing to do.Out with a skirt or dress,hose and heel's and just enjoy the feeling. Justabit

Nothing like a pretty dress to relieve stress

[Bonnie D]

I dress whenever I can be home alone. When I know I'm going to have a day to myself I look so forward to it that if I find out that I won't be alone, that gets depressing. It's happened more often than is good for me in the last couple of years.

Hi,

You have a good point. I do sometimes get dressed when I've had a hard or stressful day. It's a gresat way to relax and you can forget the pressures of the real world for a while. Sort of escapism maybe but it's always a good de stresser.

Sometimes I get dressed after I've had a good day as well though. I think it just depends on whether you're in the mood.

Sorry if I've confused things further. LOL.

Like some others have said, I actually dress more when I feel already peaceful and joyful. When I am depressed, angry, afraid, upset, etc. then dressing just makes it worse for me. I understand it is a very helpful coping mechanism for some girls and sometimes I wish that I could get it to work that way for me. It only heightens my awareness of whatever I am feeling instead.

Not that I dress much or often, given that my femme side has only just broken back through after over a decade of repression . . .

But the urge to dress seems stronger when I'm stressed and/or especially disgusted with being male, having to be male, and with the typical "male of the species" mindset in general.

[jessie_cal]

Yep. I tend to think about it more when I'm stressed out. Which is bad because finals are coming and I won't be able to concentrate unless I'm dressed up.

[dann]

I think it's the other way around. things start going bad when I don't dress for a long time.

[Sejd]

I dress all the time now and I don't dress because I am feeling down, but on the other side, it helps my mood if I dress, and if I don't get to dress for a day or two, I get very edgy. I am moving towards dressing full time anyway so I will not have this issue anymore. I am moving my work home and I will be able to dress full time come July. I can't wait.

I never really thought about it before, but since I have a stress factor right now I think that I just might dress MORE often than normal, it helps me to deal.

I deffinately dress in femme more when things aren't going well, it always makes me feel better
