Have Not Purged For Nearly Four Years- So Proud.

In the middle of my wonderful dressing session over the weekend it occurred to me that I have not purged for nearly for years. During my crossdressing life I have purged many times. However, it all stopped a few years back. Now my wardrobe and my drawers consist of skirts , dresses and tights that I bought over three years ago and have not thrown one item away. I really am proud. I have to say that money has been tight in recent years and my wardrobe consists of clothes bought in some of the cheaper stores. It could be better, my wardrobe is not extensive but at least I have more than a few choices. I think back to how silly it was to purge. It's the age old story, guilt feelings come in to play and I think that throwing away lovely clothes would stop the urge to dress. It only led to more frustration. Being without femme clothes for months would drive me mad. I invariably succumbed by being so frustrated I would have to ring my work place ring in ask for a day off and would go into Cardiff city centre and buy loads of tights and a few nice skirts and dresses and shoes. History would repeat itself time after time, I would go home wear the clothes have a load of fun and after a the session was over guilt would creep in and I would have to take another day off to dump the clothes. What a foolish waste of money.

I really think I am over it. It has paid off in spades, I very rarely have guilt feelings now. My wife knows about my dressing she is not one hundred per cent happy about it but has turned a blind eye to I know she will never leave me. As she has to look after her elderly Mother at the weekend I am often alone for the greater part of the weekend. I miss her but on the other hand my dressing sessions are extended and I have never felt so wonderful in my life when I am fully dressed as Belinda. When I put the clothes away in the wee small hours, I know I can return to my femme wardrobe and be the Woman I have always desired to be, for a while anyway.

Congratulations Roberta-Belinda. :thumbsup::welldone:

The savings must be adding up for more clothing. Purging is certainly hard on the finances.

I hope you get more additions to your wardrobe this way.

Huggs, :wub:

That's great news! You should be proud. I've done the purge thing like you many times. Let me tell you, wigs are not cheap. I've thrown out several over the years. I was ready to purge again last winter but luckily I found Laura's. I keep all my things and now I don't feel guilty. It's nice to know there are other girls like me. Thanks to all you girls!

Hugs, :)

That is wonderful. I think back on some of the outfits i've lost. Glad that stopped for me as well. Oddly now that i'm living as myself full time now i have not only purged the guy stuff but also some of the outfits that i would never wear now. I was glad to have enough of a collection to have choices i could wear day to day. My wife was curious about how i had collected so much but time and obsession finds a way.

Hugs,

My feeling is that it doesn't matter if the stuff is cheap, as long as it looks good. In my case, at least, it doesn't get hard wear!

I don't think there is anyone who hasn't purged, and then ultimately felt sorry about doing it. Fortunately, most of the stuff I got rid of was really inappropriate, But there were a few good outfits that I'm sorry about. Now I don't purge. Problem is that I still have a bunch of stuff that I should get rid of, just because it makes me look even worse than usual, but I have now gone the other way! So when I open the closet, everything kind of just jumps out at me. But this is saving me money, because I know I don't have space for anything else!

Hugs to all.

As my closet space is a bit limited. I think I will have to throw away a few blouses and skirts that I don't wear anymore just to make way for some new purchases. I definitely want to buy some more tights for the winter. I love to see the new hosiery fashions on online stores.

Good for you Belinda! I'm just beginning to understand that cross-dressing is nothing to be ashamed of, or feel guilty about. Far from it, it makes us feel happier and more at peace with ourselves. To have not purged for so long shows you understand this far better than me! I hope that I will have a streak like this one day :)

I'm sure you have a lot of clothing choices having stocked up over the years! I bet you look beautiful :)

Lots of love and hugs, Lily xxx

Hi Belinda

That's great for you. Being new to cross-dressing I learnt of purging before I got there. So when I needed to have a clear out, I bagged the clothes I was not so hot on and put them in the loft. I know now I need no shame - I'll E-bay or pass to charity those I really do not want. I've certainly felt the urge to purge for emotional reasons. It seems the cross-dressing urge comes and goes, and purging is in the "low" period. Well, I decided no purging. Even though I had an urge to rid myself of cross-dressing I knew deep down it would never change. So I did not purge. I love my clothes but I'll store them for the time being.

Gad you 'saw the light'"

I had purged many times myself. Not just clothes but make-up, underwear, and even hormones!

Eventually i started storing my stuff instead of purging because even though i gave it up at the time, i felt it was there if i had a relapse.

I suppose it still is that way come to think of it.

I got lots of stuff that I have not purged! ?

      I felt the urge to date and felt just like a teenager again. I have recorded my journal titled Ashley's Life From Start to Present. I was very moody and agitated and happy. I think it was my body's way of being in shock. After about two months it got better. Remember that you aren't the only one transitioning because your wife is too. Consider yourself lucky because I lost mine because of it and so have many others. Just enjoy the ride.

      I'm sorry for asking so many questions about your situation. I'm in your camp and believe you should be able to be whoever you feel you need to be. I guess it the Union Shop Stewart coming out in me. I want you to be treated fairly as well as respectably. You're human, you're a client of theirs. Especially if you're paying money to be there.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I'm not sure the time frame.

      Views, terminology, and aspects of how events came to be....aren't those directly related to the news item?  If not, I'm rather confused.

      Second warning, this has gotten far and apart from the NEWS item that it started out with and is becoming a flat out battleground over political leanings and terminology.

      Welcome to Lefty Land.... a festive theme park full of sparkles and unicorns, a perfect place except for one evil orange dragon wearing a blond wig.    I'm always amazed at the "flexibility" of definitions.  One person's f@scist seems like a centrist to others.  One person's "moderate" looks to others like the 2nd coming of Fidel Castro.  A normal marriage a century or two ago is now a criminal offense, and relationships that used to be a criminal offense are now open, normal marriages.  Pedophiles now want to be called "minor attracted persons" and teenagers are now defined as children.  A Republican in NY or CA would be a Democrat just about anywhere else.  I'm certainly no advocate for relativism, these are just observations.    What I find interesting about this Australian candidate is the attitude that he shouldn't be allowed to run for office.  Why?  Just because his views are different, or even offensive?  Who makes that determination?  Can an election really be open and fair if it is barred to candidates who are not "politically correct?"  Here in the USA, we can openly have candidates who are f@scist or any other thing they want to be, no real restrictions aside from eligibility requirements related to age, location, citizenship, and criminal record.

      @Birdie You certainly have more patience than I do.  I don't take it well if I get scolded.  Either I sulk or I get nippish.    We had a good Mother's Day here yesterday.  Quite an event, since 4 of my partners are mothers.  GF enjoys it a lot, because she's very (excessively?) proud of having produced her 5 kids.  Her eldest starts school this fall.  Amazing how time flies...

      Reminds me of elementary school when a kid yanked my chair as I was taking a seat. I told him to "go suck an egg" and we both got sent to the principals office. I was like, "tf did I do to deserve that?"

      Firstly, it's nice to hear that your other half is now open to you living as you are!   Secondly, things I have noticed, having started shots just before the New Year: Tears do come much more easily I am far more tender with my wife and I like to snuggle more I have noticed anxiety has an increased effect on me I am on a weekly injection, so when I get near my next shot I have noticed feeling a little emotionally "blah" After shots I am much more energetic and bubbly Otherwise, I wouldn't say I've been on any kind of roller coaster of emotion and I'm far from unstable. So take heart and congratulations!

      Three reprimands in a certain time frame? It seems like they should drop off the calendar after a period of time. How long can they hold a reprimand on the calendar?   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
