For the past 2 weeks, I just haven't had the energy to dress up on my second day off, I just relaxed. I dressed up and went out on Monday but I wasn't really feeling it. Plus I'm not happy with the Christmas weight I gained.

I find this to be true with pretty much every interest in life! I go through cycles of being very interested in a topic, then not thinking about it for a while while I do other things. There are just too many cool things in life and not enough time
The desire used to wax and wane but that was 20+ years ago.
Now it's always with me and it's part of my daily life.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
Dressing has always been a regular consistent things in my life. There where times when I was in the navy that it was difficult, but never a time when I have thought, I don't need to dress. One thing that has occurred, as I have aged, is that I don't need to be in any particular mood to dress. I just do because it's part of who I am I guess. Plus I have the time since I retired.

I am one who hasn't been able to dress fully in a year and it's not any fun not knowing when I can. My wife hates my crossdressing and would be gone if she knew I still did. Its like having 2 girlfriends and always wanting both of them for the joy each brings. The closet is feeling claustrophobic on closing in. I just need some support for sister who have worked through.
Past experiences played to the ebb and flow of urges although usually in shorter cycles of week to week rather than several months at a time. These past 10+ years I generally find that the desire of what to wear really is more to the tune of What do I feel like wearing today? rather than what's exciting with the odd exception.
The clothes are just clothes although some more exciting to wear than others (a suit or a satin dress may seem more exciting than a tank and skirt or a t-shirt and jeans because it usually means doing something more interesting than mowing the lawn or going for a walk.) Some days I feel that jean shorts and a t-shirt lounging about the house is fine while other times wearing lingerie with a skirt, blouse and low heels while I watch a movie is preferred.
Although I can find something to appreciate and like about almost anything I wear, "male" or "female", it really is just how I'm feeling in the moment.

I always wondered if other CDs had the same feeling as me. Sometimes that urge is so strong that I just have to put on a bra/panties, pantyhose and a skirt/blouse or dress along with bracelets. I've read it that dressing up is suppose to relax you when stressed; however, I'm not sure sometimes I dress up when I'm stressed out and sometimes when I'm totally relaxed. During the urge, at a minimum I will underdress, wearing panties and pantyhose. This urge is this what they refer to as "the Pink fog"?
