Losing Time Due To Economy


Guest Emily H

Recommended Posts

Guest Emily H

Interestingly enough, the economy is affecting my crossdressing habits. My mom is getting an increasingly less amount of work time- this week, she only have 2 days of working, the place she works at is getting little and littler amounts of work, and my dad has come home hours earlier than normal, saying he wasn't needed there since they had no more jobs to work on. So, a lot of the time I am really afraid of trying anything on, for the risk of getting caught. Sometimes I still do though, as it is getting to be an overwhelming desire, like, when oyu have a mosquito bite, and it itches more and more, to the point of hurting, if you don't scratch it.

So, the main reason I posted this, is if anybody could offer advice on what I should do. When I do get to dress up, I keep think, man, I wish I could just stay like this for awhile longer. But I don't. I get home around three, and my parents get home anywhere from four to five, or,because of the economy and less work, possibly earlier. past this, I hardly ever get the house to myself. I'm wondering what I should do, maybe when I should dress, or tips for being quick or something, things to help me not worry about getting caught so much.

Hey Some,

Cheer up!! the economy is already showing signs of recovery! Soon, things will be back to normal!! In the meantime maybe you could consider either dressing up for only an half hour before everyone comes home or much later after everyone has gone to sleep. Don't fall asleep yourself and get caught in the morning!! Take this change in stride... it is only temporary!!

LOL

As a temporary solution you might make a compromise, while you may not be able to fully dress maybe wearing some undergarmets like panties od pantyhose that can't be detected could make you feel a little more in touch with dressing until you can get really dressed.

I used to do that a lot when I lived at my parent's house.

Love ya,

Sally

That sucks. The economy's done the opposite to my dad- he's been working ages longer and goes in ont he weekends for at least an hour or two. Of course, I'm not a crossdresser and my mother never leaves so the situation isn't quite the same- but it's too bad the economies effecting you like that. I also can't get a job to fuel transition, which sucks as well. :/

Here's hoping it gets better soon.

Sally has a good point.

I used to do the same thing, wearing undergarments under my male clothes, just to have that little bit of femme feeling when I couldn't be fully dressed.

When I was working, I almost always wore panties and hose under my business suits. Sometimes I would also have on my body briefer too.

Hang in there, it will get better!

Thanks for the advice thus far everyone, right now happens to be a good day, so here I am dressed for now, and it feels great. I am too much of a cautious person to wear undergarments when my parents are home, but I have considered that too. i have also considered just wearing panties at night, but, like I mentioned, I'm too cautious to make risks like that, lol.

I started out just wearing panties under my work clothes. Occasionally, I wore a bra. I'm sure things will change for the better. A little dressing is better than none at all.

I'm about to have the opposite problem - unpaid days off every month, giving me more time to dress. One girls problem is another's good fortune, I suppose. :rolleyes:

There are things you can do beyond the undies. There are low-heeled shoe and boot styles that can pass casual inspection, and perhaps some sportswear items that could pass as men's (if you remove the label lol). Be creative, see what's available. You might be surprised.

Best of luck!

      I am a little confused about the word in your title there.    Defamation is a variation I know about, and it is akin to Libel and Slander in meaning, and could be the object of a court action or a couple of types.   If you are referring to the act of denying or taking away your feminine gender, ie. they keep using masculine names and pronouns or referring to you as  a "man" or "man in a dress", then yes it happens to me on rare occasion and if it is online, I simply block the moron doing it or leave the group where they are doing it, and may or may not come back if the person is there.  When people are willing to learn about Trans Folks I do give what are jokingly referred to as Trans 101 or even more in depth classes to the receptive and accepting audiences.  I DO NOT however try to teach a pig to sing, which as they say sounds like hell and annoys the pig.  If someone is invalidating your gender, get away from them safely and FAST.

      My inner child likes to cuddle with Blahaj.  I know it's weird, but it works for me.
    • Ivy
      I'm not sure they can do this.  Not on line anyway.  LOL   Defamation?  Not that I personally know of.

      It's a sign!

      Nice! I've found myself shopping around for astrophotography gear more than once but haven't taken the plunge yet. To close to a metro area to do it from my home.

      It never occurred to me to be able to see them here in the south.   Maybe tonight if it's not cloudy.

      @Willow Oh, yeah. been on anti-depressants for years. Actually 2 different ones. Take them each and every morning along with my other meds.

      Well, this last post brings my trans life up to date.  What happens from here is anyone's guess.  The next big milestone will be retirement, probably next year some time.  I don't think that will change things much for Sally because as I have stated previously, I am in a mostly happy place where she is concerned.    I do have a few more posts planned, as I would like to write in more detail about a few occurrences that were memorable to me.  Hopefully they will be of interest to others.    Hugs,   Sally

      Has anyone been a victim of online defemination? and what to do about it?
    • Vidanjali
      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.

      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )
    • Susan R
      @KathyLauren That’s absolutely beautiful. Love those colors! That would be so nice to see some time. I’m too far South to ever see these spectacular events.   Very Nice, Susan R🌷

      Welcome @AmandaJoy, It’s a pleasure to have you join us here on the forum. It does seem much easier to suppress this understanding of ourselves until one day, it’s not. It all suddenly hits you like a ton of bricks. Those puzzle pieces all suddenly seem to fit and there’s no going back. Like you, I waited until I felt there was no other choice. It was now or never! Never having the opportunity to be myself in this world was not going to be an option.   Words of wisdom there. Many of us try to make up for lost time or try to get results faster than a cis puberty but it just doesn’t work that way as you’ve learned. It’s difficult waiting for the changes but the good news…eventually you’ll experience many of them and the joys that come with those changes are wonderful and exciting. But like most good things, they take time. And sometimes it’s helpful things don’t happen overnight. Especially if you have others that need time to adjust to your physical and emotional changes.   I wish you the best on your continuing journey wherever that may lead you. I think you’ll enjoy this forum as there are great resources, advice, and people here that make it what it is. Hope to see you around.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷
