Lose urge to dress.

[Delila]

Normaly monday is my day to be by myself and dress fully and enjoy my fem side. Today I just did not feel that urge. I just did not want to go through the trouble of dressing. I was wondering if anyone else out there has had similar feelings.

[Tracy_Victoria]

Yes it happens

Some times things just get on top of you, or your state of mind is not right for the day. Also the day can change as it progress's ie you can wake up, and not feel like dressing, yet an hour or so later your just busting to do so. it really is a two way thing.

I've found if I'm stressed I like to dress, but it not as enjoyable. Sometimes you just can't be bothered, or other things have more demand on you time and mind, however some days you just have to do it, other you can just live without the hassle of going through the motions.

so this is nothing unusual

It happens to the best of us!

[Kristen Kelly]

I didn't feel like dressing at all today, I'm Totally Naked.

[ronda]

sometimes i don't feel like dressing but i do it anyway :D :happy:

Every one gets in a slump once in a while. Good thing it doesn't last long, huh? Ericka

[Karren H]

Yeah!!! Happens every so often but not real common. Well, I guess the more comfortable I get, the more often it happens. Especially if things are hectic and I'm tired plus I know I'll get to dress another day soooooo..... Don't let it worry you.

My sister Karren hit it dead on.....and loss of desires can last for a day, a week.....or 5 months (my last time).

Yeah, sure. I don't know what it is, biorhythms, maybe. But whatever it is, it's not at all uncommon. I recently went through a couple of months when my desires to dress were very low. It comes and goes. It didn't bother me at all, as I figured it would come back. So when I don't feel like dressing up, I don't, and when I do, well, you do the math.

[wendy]

yep, I go thru those same feelings myself. Just recently my vehicle was involved in a hit and run, and the stress of dealing with the police, insurance, and car rental places I just don't have any urges to dress at all right now.

[sierracd6]

Yes it does....I don't have many times that I can, but sometimes when I am able, I just think of having to take all the war paint off, and sometimes that is a big enough deterent.......

[Anita Mae GG]

I thnk so, my hubby hasn't dressed since March and seems right now to have no desire to. Even asked him a few times when Danielle was coming back as I missed her......he said "I just don't feel like it".......so it seems that this happens to everyone.

[Casey Morgan]

I feel that way some times. I've come to accept it as part of who I am.

[EricaCD]

To me "why DON'T I want to dress" is often as odd a question as "why DO I want to dress". And I lack a suitable answer to either. Sometimes I do; sometimes I don't, and I have yet to identify a reason for either.

But, as you can plainly see, you are not alone!

For me its always been a cyclical pursuit.I have gone several months without indulging....not that I don't think about it...I just REALLY have to be in the mood.

Typically something will light the fuse like a new wig or outfit...perhaps an event.Once I get started I may dress several times in a two or three week period...then go dormant for months.

I have found that over the years that personal relationships tend to dictate how often I dress as well.If I'm not with a s/o then I usually don't dress at all...perhaps I need an audience! I guess I got spoiled from understanding partners and miss that...or maybe I'm just lazy.:p

Interesting...
Why would anyone CD if they didn't feel like it? :straightface:

[Andi-Girl]

I am going through one of my drab times right now as well. i used to try and dress through it but it was not worth it. I now just let the down time come and go. I just figure it is part of life.
LOL

[Delila]

Good to see that this is common, it wasnt a concern so much as a curiosity. As far as i remember this is the first time that this has happened. So it made me wonder if anyone else did this sometimes.

[Siobhan Marie]

I'm going through a drab period at the mo myself, still underdress and wear a nightie to bed, but can't be bothered to get dressed.

:hugs: Anna x

[carolbitv]

hello ladies, i go through the same thing. one day i want to dress all the way.then other times no way to much trouble. the no way is becomming more common these days. oh well just one of those things i guess. Carol

[Bev06 GG]

Hi Girls,
Considering the effort that you all put in theres no wonder that some times you lose the urge. I have to be well turned out most work days, full makeup, hair just so etc etc and sometimes you just have a can't be bothered phase. Perfectly natural and without sounding like Im being rude or cheeky, most CDs do have to make abit more of an effort to look feminine than GGs do, so I take my hat off to you all. I like to be well turned out and make a real effort to be so, but I do like to have time out from it all.

I know the feeling, Megan. some days it's just not there.

I go through the same exact feelings once in a while and dont feel like dressing. Sometimes I even feel like giving everything away. Sometimes I try to figure out exactly how much money I've spent on my "feminine" attire and wish I had that money to further customize my motorcycle or modify my snowmobiles. Then I do a complete 180 degrees and cant wait to get home from work and put on my female clothing. I actually wore pink socks today inside of my work boots. I put on a black bra and black sheer cami and couldnt wait to wear my breast enhancers. At home and at ease.
Living alone ( most of the time ) does have it's benefits.

Hi

to dress or not dress? Its all swings and roundabouts. The desires come and go.

Love
Lucy

You will find that while you may have less of an urge to dress from time to time, ultimately you'll discover that this is something that you'll never be able to completely give up...

That can be generally far harder to deal with than the occasional lapse in dressing, should you ever decide to purge, Its better to just put things away for a rainey day... Just go with the flow my dear...

Cheers
Ava

Today I just did not feel that urge. I just did not want to go through the trouble of dressing. I was wondering if anyone else out there has had similar feelings.

It doesn't sound that unusual.
I haven't really bothered much for about 18 months or so but in the last month the need has returned again which is why this is my first post since sometime in Feb 2005.

[Sarah Rabbit]

Now that I've come to enjoy and accept who I am, the urge does not seem to be as strong..I was wondering what was going on...Having read this thread makes me feel better:love: :love:

Thank you all..Sarah R. :bunny:

[Clare]

Yes, I go through these phases as well. I used to think that my male responsibilities needed more attention which is why my dressing 'lapsed'.

Even though I'm more accepting of my self as a transgender, I still need a break from the efforts of being CLARE to just be my 'normal' self even when I have an uninterrupted opportunity to dress for periods of time!

Apparently I'm no different to anyone else in this regard.

[jo_ann]

I find myself dressing once a month at best.. I Think it's a combination of 4 things:
1. got better stuff to do
2. wife approves, so it's not taboo
3. I'm overweight, so I'm usually not happy with the way I look as a woman (god forbid if I was really a woman)
4. because I'm overweight, I can never bring myself to buy new outfits, so it's gotten boring wearing the same stuff all the time (sometimes my wife's clothes spice things up)
