So hi, Im not really sure where to begin this so ill just start from the beginning, or really more like where i began to notice. This is all very new to me so please forgive me if i make a mistake. About 3 days ago i came to the realization that I might be CD, the realization came to me after i had been having a lot of dreams of the same nature. Normally i dont put much purchase on the meaning of dreams but it was how these made me feel that made me notice, id often look in a mirror or down at myself and notice i was wearing a dress or makeup, or that i actually was a woman, and it gave me such a feeling of completness,when i woke up all i could think about was that dream,this went on for several months when i suddenly began to realize that even thinking about wearing womens clothes gave me that strange amazing feeling. And suddenly for some reason i was able to put the peices together and it all made sense,i never really when i was younger got to the point where i was intentionally wearing womens clothes, but id often somehow or another pick out clothing that i thought might be mens and it was actually womens,and whenever i wore them it felt nice until somebody pointed it out then id feel guilt about it and eventually take it back out of shame,when i was younger in my teens id often fool around a little with gender ideas with my female friends jokingly,but for the most part i tried to act like your basic masculine kid but whenever i tried to be mr macho really deep on the inside i felt like a fraud,skip ahead to my late 20s and i learned about a thing called sensory processing sensitivity, a physical and emotional character trait in about 20 percent of the population, or basically highly sensitive people, i began to realise that i was a sensitive person and even when i figured out that much i broke down and cried,i began exploring my more emotional side or feminine side until i basically kinda had some semblance of normality for me,but after discovering about this and hearing others stories i really identified with it on a deep level, i had a lot in common with those who cded to feel complete,like there was this duality in them,i feel that way too,right now i sleep in the living room of a tiny 2 bedroom apartment with my parents and brother in the other rooms,were never more than 20 ft away from each other,so for me trying to CD right now is kind of impossible,but to be honest i really dont know what i am just yet, i really really want to try womens clothes and express myself that way like i always wanted to but never had the chance,i dont know does it make me CD if youve always wanted to try womens clothes but never did,even in secret? I dont know but this is where im at right now and it confusing and scary and exciting and somewhat fulfilling i guess ill see how it goes.

Don't be silly. I'm always right. ?

 

We're always anxious at first. This is a big step and the repercussions can be huge either way. Coming out represents a risk. Friends and family might not be so understanding and staying in the closet results in a life of quiet desperation. Whatever you choose, we're here to offer our support.

 

Hugs!

Welcome Magical Realism, a pleasure to meet you...You are not alone in this at all.  I too have been having dreams like this.  I’ve had them for decades but since going full time they now have changed slightly. Mine were a little different [pre-transition] in that the fact that I was presenting male except I had breasts accompanied by a bra under my male clothes. The funny thing is that in almost every dream, the people in the dream were unknowing of my little secret until later in the dream, I eventually always get outed by some ridiculous circumstance..lol.  But oddly enough, since actively starting my transition, I am always presenting as Susan.  It’s almost as if my subconscious is aware of my conscious activities...(kidding)

 

Well Magical Realism, thanks for putting up with my ramblings. These things happen from time to time. I’m glad you came aboard...hope you stay for the ride.

 

Warmest Regards,

Susan R?

Yea,i kind of like the movement,just the idea of having magic just casually appear as part of reality kind of fits my life as i am also schizoaffective,so its like a theme for me,plus whenever i think of the idea in film i think of my neighbor totoro which i also love, i dont know thats just how i understand it anyway from what little i know, so thanks tammy!

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.

      I'd echo some of the advice in Imma Asher's letter in the book To My Trans Sisters:   Take your time.  See yourself. Be proud.  Be strong. Indulge in the transformation.  Read more.  Put down the brow pencil.  Live.  And be happy.

      I hope that there is some kind of justice. It's very sad and it doesn't even mention the family and I could only imagine how they feel.
