How would you describe to a non CDer the feeling that builds inside until you *have* to dress?
Sometimes I can go for months without the desire to CD, but then all of a sudden over a few days or week I find that the desire builds until I have to do something about it. At the same time, CDing is never really that far away, I've accepted it as part of my being, but in the dry periods I feel like what's the point of CDing? Why bother? I could never look passable. However, in the period when you have to CD, it is like the complete opposite.
Is it like going without chocolate for months and then stuffing your face with them all at once? Or is it more like a chemical change in the body or after you eat something? Or something you see or feel that triggers it?
I understand the cycles, I'm looking for a good way to describe how we feel to someone who is not a CDer.
