It’s the middle of a very cold winter here in Australia (Melbourne), I’m finding that while I’m still buying a few things here and there and swapping clothes with a friend in Queensland I just can’t be bothered at the moment. Feels like I’m loosing my mojo. I’ve even gone nearly 2 weeks without shaving, such is the slump I find myself in.
Im sure the pink fog will return in time.
i am what I am, I do what I do..

I get into that funk sometimes.....takes too much effort to shower, shave ,lotion, makeup & wig and gather my clothes (I keep everything in the attic and its very cramped area and my bags are heavy). But when I do go thru the process I LOVE and ENJOY the entire ordeal!
Sometimes I think its my age, or not being able to share the experience with someone else....but I FULLY want to be feminine as much as possible.
I dress as me 24/7 365 and the motivation is always there.
I'm trans so maybe there in lies the difference between a CD and a trans person.
The desire to dress ebbs and flows. There's nothing wrong with that.
It happens. 🤷*♀️
Be who you are in that moment.
Rachel,
Sounds like "Wintertime Blues !" maybe you should try and find a place to hibernate for a while !
I love the change of seasons, I'm wearing some items I didn't get the chance to wear last year but at the same time keeping an eye out for bargains to wear when the weather cools down later this year .
Go with! The desire will return and probably even stronger! Get some winter clothes and go for it when you are ready! Hugs Lana Mae

Yep you so right
I ran into that funk many times. I've even got all dressed up, looked in the mirror, and, said to myself "Why am I doing this?" Sometimes it just does not do anything for me. Sometimes I let the facial hair grow until my wife mentions it. Sometimes I feel great barefooted, cut off shorts and graphic tee shirt with Bigfoot on it.
So take a break, no big deal. Don't overthink it.
Your situation is not uncommon...ebbs and flows of our world.The pink fog will, I repeat..will return. Don’t purge during this lull.
The cold and raining weather certainly can put a dampener on things, although I personally love to wear winter boots with warm tights! But as they say, if you don't like the weather in Melbourne, just wait an hour and it will soon change.
Ok, so, since i'm a yank that loves all y'all Aussies, and I travel to OZ (Sydney) about every other month. I gotta know...
define "very cold in Melbourne" for me. How cold is that exactly?

Looks like average minimum of 6 degrees C, which probably isn’t impressive for our Canadian sisters but is for people more used to dealing with 40 degree C heat waves!
i start early in the mornings, we had a week of 2-3 degrees at 4am, it’s warming up of late, 7-8 degrees.. nearly t shirt and shorts weather!Originally Posted by AnnieMac

I find CD is like a Drug or a "Fix" . That helps me relax and unwind. I only have to Do it when the "URGE" comes. Sometimes the "FIX" will last longer than others.
I can't tell if she's turning her mojo loose, if if she's losing her mojo.
Calling bigotry an "opinion" is like calling arsenic a "flavor".
If you don't feel like dressing don't its as easy as that.
The urge will come back I'm sure. Everybody says that so it must be true.
All's not lost..
The urges will return. I've been through this before but it's normally when the weather heats up, to have this happen at the moment could be a good thing.
I still sleep only in lingerie (baby dolls & short satin nighties are my favorite) wife doesn't complain about that either. It helps me sleep well to be honest.
I'm still haunting the op shops for bargains, in the last 3 weeks ive bought about 7 dresses, 5 skirts and a few other things.
It's just that there's still only 24 hours in the day.. no matter how you try and manage your time, it's just impossible to change that!!
As i type this, I think i'll be getting an opportunity to try a few things on later tonight when everyone is out.. fingers crossed.

Dressing can be episodic. Stay tuned & don’t change the channel as another episode will be on its way
So many Melbournians I've known hit the antidepressants when winter comes around.
Rachel, I get your feeling. I'm more likely to dress in winter when its not hot though.
Please call me Jamie, I always_have crossdressed, I always will, "alwayshave".
Here in Colorado we have those extremes in the weather. Frigid in the winter sometimes and boiling in the summer, like this week. People feel trapped in their homes. It gets you down either way. Called cabin fever here and I am sure elsewhere. It will pass. A bit of a mild depression caused by feeling kind of trapped and not being able to engage in your normal activities without a whole lot of effort. Kind of like Winter Blues or the more serious SAD (seasonal affective disorder) both of which tend to occur in the winter. Exposure to a lot of really bright light for awhile each day will release some hormone that tricks your brain into thinking it isn't the way it really is. Result - you have more energy and enthusiasm for doing things.
I find it harder to dress in the summer myself. Too hot to wear a wig or anything much more than skimpy clothes.
