Renee is Back!

[Carly D.]

Monday was a close call for me.. I came really close to "purging" a lot of my clothes... February is the worst month for me.. Last year I nearly did the same exact thing as this year, came close to tossing everything, or a lot of stuff.. I know from experience that throwing everything away is a huge no no... In high school I threw all my pantyhose away (the only clothing I had then... ahh the good old days) and a few days later I was suffering withdrawls.. yuckty yuckty yuck... Anyway not the best feeling to have.. I knew that if I can just hold out til Friday that this month would be gone.. Well almost gone.. Hello sun shine..

[Amanda Stubbs]

Welcome back Renee though we haven't met, I'm Amanda Stubbs from England. Luckily I was in my young teens when I learned the pain of the purge and Ive been a precise as a surgeon about what I bin ever since. Never throw everything out and don't try to give up for anyone there always somewhere you can stash the loft of the house is often a decent place because of the spiders in them!

[ReneeT]

Amanda,

you learned the lesson early- it took me 35 yrs!

[SFRobin]

Welcome back Renee. Unfortunately, I know all too well about tossing out favorites in a purge.

[Laurie909]

Well, most of us have purged at one time or another. Anyway, clothes can be replaced. You still have your beauty!

[beez1717]

I've never perged, but I have thrown out all my crappy guy clothes.

Heh. I think I'd get very upset if I purged.... I'd like get depressed after only a week!

[Bethany38]

Renee Welcome back,

All I can say is experience is expensive.
I know it's not that funny but it is true. I am sorry you purged you stuff. I have done this before but will never again.

[TxKimberly]

I think the very vast majority of us have gone through it at least once. I had my longest purge right before I joined this forum when I went almost three years. The irony is, when I came back to CDing I came back with a vengeance!

I have had the same experience. It seems the longer the abstinence, the more intense the "rebound". I also find that I am more comfortable with myself each time.

[renneeists]

I purged a few times also. Actually still purged.Now I'm hanging out here again. I've noticed, it seems to happen after/during an emotional time in my life. As in woman problems. Which explains why I'm here again.
No I don't think I'll tell this wife. But if I wind up single again, with any money left, instead of sleeping in the car for a year. I will definatly restock my wardrobe, and do a better job of meeting other girls like me.
I think I need to explore my fem side better, decide who I am, and why.
I'm 59 now and just so confused

[Lynn Marie]

I think I've purged twice. Now I know that the feeling will pass and just wait it out. Sometimes I get tired of dressing, and sure enough after a few days it's back. I do love a nice wardrobe and it takes quiter a while to assemble one.

[Roxi Loh]

WB Renee, I have never fully purged but have been close a couple of times. Now for sure I wont do it. Thanks for convincing me of that.

It is too bad that "you had to find out the hard way". I once heard a GG tell a CD that she would keep her wardrobe for her so that when the CD urge returned she would not have disposed of all of her fem things. The "return" is nearly a certainty.

This gives me an idea. Maybe we need to start a network of GG's providing a repository for purges. Just think how much money it would save!

[TNRobin]

A belated welcome back. I purged once for a decade and a half! Never again.

By the way, if you ever get the urge to purge again you can send them my way. I PROMISE to take good care of them.

It seems that there are tons of girls here from middle TN. I live in Murfreesboro and my SO lives in Chattanooga, so I'm all over the place and would love to meet up sometime to have a GNO.
