I've seen the threads talking about what triggers your CDing, but I'm curious to know what has triggered your purges (if any) and what thoughts, feelings, events, etc. moved you beyond the purge(s) and back to dressing?
For me, purges have come when my self esteem was really low. During my dating years, I would sometimes purge after beginning to date a new girl because I felt CDing made me less of a man and I didn't want that on my mind while dating. Eventually I would become comfortable in the relationship and the urge to CD would return. I tend to CD when things are at a certain "comfort level" in my life, but I tend to put CDing on hold when that comfort level drops. If it really drops for whatever reason, then a purge sometimes occurs.
