Just like many other CDers, I feel great when I dress up. I feel sexy, feminine, girly, etc. But I also feel happy, relaxed, and seem to have a lot less stress. I am simply more at peace with myself when I dress like a woman.
When its time to undress, say if I'm going to work or going to meet friends, then I feel somewhat depressed and want to stay dressed up for as long as possible. Many's the time I was seriously contemplating calling into work so I could stay home. Never have done this because I have a very good reputation at work and don't want to ruin that. Also I know I need the money, not just for bills, but for buying all the women's stuff I do. As for friends, I could easily come up with an excuse to not go out with them, but I enjoy hanging out with them, and I do not wish for my crossdressing to interfere with my personal life. I can crossdress almost any time, I can't just see my friends whenever.
As for unexpected interruptions, well since I have yet to come out of the closet and not sure if I ever will, I hate when that happens. I don't have kids, am not married, etc. But my sister lives a few blocks away. I can't count the times I have had to undress because she needed me to watch the kids or whatever. I get fuming mad when I have to take my feminine clothes off earlier than usual.
Today I was wearing what is currently my favorite new dress. This is the absolute last one that's ever been made, and I had been wanting this dress for almost a year. I got it a few days ago and was going to wear it all day, possibly take it off while I ate something so as not to spill anything on it, and then put it back on. My sister called and asked me to watch my niece. Today she calls and asks me to ask my dad something. He's outside fishing, so I have to take it off and go outside to ask him.
Times like this I kinda wish I lived on my own without anyone to bother me. Yes I care about family and all, but sometimes I just feel like I can't be left alone. This does not happen all the time, but happens frequently enough for it to be uber annoying.
