Remember it is the one of the first article of women's clothing that we try on and wear. It becomes a big deal because it was the first. It is the one item of women's clothing that we can wear everyday and nobody will ever know. To GG's it seems rather silly since they have worn them since getting out of diapers, but we haven't. It does diminish in importance after a while. I don't even think of them anymore.
Going through a divorce doesn't cause much happiness, but the freedom to do as you want is better. Since cd'ing isn't the biggest thing in my life, I can say that it helps to provide relaxation from the stresses of my job. But it causes it own level of stresses until you meet someone who knows and accepts you the way you are.
Depression is a feeling triggered by being alone. The cd'ers who have accepting wives are very lucky. Usually the only thing that helps me is to talk to someone which leaves me very people to talk with. I think the hardest part of being TG is that you can't tell most people which isolates you from the rest of the folks.
