    Great for you!! Either way it went as long as there was closure either way. To sit in the mire not knowing is terrible. Good luck on your journey.

    Right. So. You went to " shrink ". Decided to burn all your clothes. THEN. Join a crossdressing chat forum. Sorry. Doesn't add up.

    Welcome to this place. Fire the shrink. Put on your big girl panties. ( start a thread about it ) and relax. We'll be seeing you soon.

    Cheers.

    I would look for another counselor. But that is just me.
    All I ever wanted was to be a girl. Is that really asking too much?

    Reading your introduction and then this post I am curious as to why everything went down hill so quickly.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.

    I'm curious as to why you felt the need to come to a CD Forum to express this when obviously most here won't agree.

    I wish you luck.

    Myself, from reading and soul searching I'm learning that crossdressing is something inherent in the personality and one never really can quit. From the books I've read recently, opressing the urge to dress can lead to psychological problems.

    Truthfully, a big part of me wishes that I wasn't a crossdresser but I've come to grips that it's just a part of me. Having a spouse that you have to keep happy complicates things, so I expect to be single all my life.

    Again, I wish you the best.

    Good luck to you.
    Without benefit of a shrink I purged more times than I can remember and the only regret about it is that I let go of so many nice things (that I probably couldn't fit in any more).

    I'm curious as others are...if you told your wife, she changed her mind, THEN you saw a shrink...WHY TELL US ABOUT ALL THIS IF YOU'RE QUITTING FOR GOOD??
    If you really are sworn off it then coming here is like quitting smoking THEN buying a pack of cigarettes and telling the clerk you've quit for life.....just doesn't add up.

    But good luck....we'll be here if you find it's not that easy.

    Brace yourself. The urge WILL come back. It's not a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN. It's like holding your breath. Some can go longer, some can't, but in the end, nobody can hold it forever. Good luck trying, though.

    I agree... It's like grocery shopping. You need to eat SOME TIME. If you are bent on quitting for good then why are you here? It seems that you are trying to find a reason to continue dressing instead of quitting fully. Your shrink may have been the only person you could talk to about dressing, but why all the sudden burning your clothes? How are you going to fill a hole in your chest so quickly without turning back? Close door, open another. Its not easy following a path that you really aren't familiar with. We'll see you when you come back and ask why you weren't successful at being a MAN!! Bye hun... I hope all goes well for you.

    If you really want to stop, you can stop. If you change your mind in the future, you can start again.

    I am curious though why you would join a crossdressing forum to announce your quitting. And why you would burn your female clothes instead of donating them to a charity.

    Best wishes.

    *I am happy with my self now its great to be a MAN again

    Really ? What the hell do you think we are ? I'm on my way home covered in steel dust. My arms are bleeding from cuts.
    And I'm a crossdresser and i am a man I am very happy with both of me.
    I love the way you put !! Man!! In capital letters. I am so happy you fingered out who you are.
    Every morning when get up do you look in the mirror and say ( I AM A MAN) .

    You have to say "Hi" before you say "goodbye".

    Awesome response I guess if you said you were quitting at least you were here for awhile before doing so, this person just joined to say he quits? lol

    and for the record, last time I checked, I am still a man lol I just have a better side sometimes

    I have a better word than M-A-N......T-R-O-L-L

    I know what I think of counsellors. Looks like I could be right!

    But good luck and all the best Lynchy.

    For some of us, the urge may always be there but we don't have to respond with the behavior. It is not a matter of repressing the urge, it is a matter of deciding that, "Today, I will not crossdress." Sounds simple but it is a challenge and requires constant vigilance. I'm not convinced there will always be psychological issues associated with not giving in to the urge. People starting off dieting have an urge to overeat but they seem to overcome it without significant long-term psychological issues.

    I don't see purging as being a necessity since it is so easy, albeit expensive, to replace a wardrobe. Perhaps a better alternative would be to store it away in a place that requires thought and effort to get to. What I do agree with is that as long as you are committed to not crossdress, you should not visit this site.

    Good bye and good luck.

    Best of luck to you. We'll be here next week, next month, or next year when you come back after not being able to stay away from femme clothing. BTW, I do play a man every day going to work and most of the time after work. It's not easy doing it, but that's the way it is.

    Hi....and bye! I see that you joined a month ago, so that's a pretty fast change of situation.

    It's interesting that for most of us, being "me" was finally finding out that there was a feminine side that needed to be addressed. But, we are all different and I hope that you have found what you need.

    Enjoy your life!

    Ain't buying it. The only thing missing here is the advertizement to "cure" us. Sorry,

    Good thing is it is self limiting as a troll because they are "Giving (it) up" and they burned their stuff.

    Thanks for playing, don't forget to pick up your Rice-a-roni as a parting gift.
