Stress releaf

[cpt2669]

Had a bad morning before leaving work. Got home and put on a skirt and nice top. Watched some Netflix. Then went and put on some more outfits to have my on privet fashion show. Now I feel much better. Dressing is so much a great stress release. Wish I could go full time.

While I dont dress for stress relief Ill admit it can work, I put it down to the fact you occupy yourself with something you like doing that requires a fair bit of thought thus making you forget about what stressed you out.

Glad you feel better now.

Yes this... getting out of my male clothes and in to a nice dress is what gets me through the day.

It's fantastic isn't it, when I'm getting stressed at work I just plan my outfit for when I'm home. definitely helps to calm and cheer me up

It's not so much a stress relief for me but when I'm in drab I almost feel like that's when I'm deceiving people, when I get dressed I feel more relaxed and comfortable within myself xxx

Can't say that I am stressed out, but when dressed I am definitely in a better place. I feel at ease. It helps that my SO is completely OK with it and even encourages dressing. I think I would be stressed out if I had to steal moments to dress. BTW, I find that putting on makeup is a very calming activity.

I've always felt the stress relief CDing affords me. As a matter of fact it has benefited me on so many levels, physical, mental and emotional.

when you go full time it can be wonderful... my stress relief today was that as i was in trader joes looking for the quinoa (sp?) the SA came up and said...can i help you miss

it is the small things that make your day

Not only do I CD to express my feminine side but I do it as a stress relief as well. There is no better feeling than slipping into a nice dress and feeling all your worries and problems just disappear

[transfeminate]

All my stress disappears the moment I pull on a skirt or dress

A little dress up is a great thing. Feeling beautiful is a huge help sometimes.

Dressing up used to be a great stress relief for me, but now that I've been going out more whilst dressed up I've been shopping more and going out to eat more while dressed and it's killing my bank account. Ugh I need more cash to pamper myself lol.

It does not de-stress me, but it keeps me calm. If I am stressed I need to ride my bike or walk or do something physical. Afterwards, a shower and then dress. Now I'm chill.

CDing for me is also helps me deal with stress. Since work encountered a reorganization, I find my stress level has gone thru the roof. Today was a very rough day at work (tomorrow will be even worse), so after I got home, did some house chores, ate, I quickly got fully dressed. I can feel the stress melt away.

For me dressing is triggered by stress and the onset of depression. I find the process of dressing a distraction from my reality and the pressures of the real world. Dressing relaxes me. If only for a moment I can pretend to somebody else and escape from me.

Hi Christina, Dressing everyday keeps the stress in check.:daydreaming:

[deebra]

And it feels sooooo gooood.

[Barbara Jo]

I know that many say that "dressing" relives their stress.

However, I'm just the opposite.
If I'm stressed, I have little to no desire to dress.
It's when I'm totally stress free that I have the greatest desire to dress.
Anyone else like that?

BTW. I'm always try to be stress free. not letting little things bother me for the most part.:)

What I find stressful is having to change back into guy clothes!

[Savannah_Skye]

Sometimes for me even thinking about changing into feminine clothes is enough to make work stress go away!

[kendel]

Putting on some comfortable clothes can turn your day around

[PamTG]

I think for me it can be a good form of stress relief when I am dressed in what I am supposed to be dressed in, much more relaxed in feminine clothing that is for sure.
