i don't know if anyone here can relate to this, but my family has a history of MDD, and i had that, and i started to CD to escape reality, but then when i got better i still loved to do it been doing it for 3 years now, heh, not very interesting i know sorry xD

If MDD means major depressive disorder, I know of a few CD's who attest to CDing to escape depression.

CDing and shopping are also great cures for stress. Welcome aboard.

Well, for me I guess, it was when I was very young, playing house, with a friend (girl), instead of her being the mama, she was the daddy, and you guessed it, I was the mama.. Then things calmed down til later in my adulthood, dressing up, for my ex-wife, who thought it was cute, but that only lasted for a while, I just stopped and didnt give it another thought. Later on in life though, I thought about it a lot but never acted on it, til after I got married to my current wife. I always hid it from her, so she never knew until I told her. I have been doing this in the closet for the past 10 years, until recently the subjet was brought up. Since finding this forum my wife and I have talked with other members here, to help ease her mind why I do this. and it seems to be working out just fine so far. I am glad to have found this site and plan to be a member for a very long time, aswell as my wife.

about age 10 when i ruined all my play clothes, and had to wear my sisters dress or stay in my room in underwear. I didn't mind at the time and stayed in the kitchen with my mother to do housework. Larter in the afternoon, my two sisters played with me, dools coloring book etc. No made fun of me, I did enjoy being "one of the girls".
