Still scared, freaked out, wanting to hide...for no reason.

[Andrea Elise]

Yes, baby steps. Baby steps that have become no steps.

For some unknown reason, I have shut down. Of late, there is now no desire to be me. This is strange.

No, not that I am put off by any thing or any aspect.

Perhaps it is just because there is no time. Job pressure, time issues. And, I am tired. The heat and humidity have just about done me in.

My first post in quite some time. I feel as though I am in some kind of dead zone. Perhaps it is temporary. I can only hope.

Thank you all for your replies. You have all been a great help. This forum is a great help and everyone here makes it so.

Hugs to all!

There is no rule book. You don't have to force yourself to do anything.

Many CDs go through phases of dressing and not dressing. For various reason, such as fear, or those you mentioned.

Thank you, Donna!

After a lifetime of dressing, I don't expect it to just "go away". It has been out of character for me to just not want to do as I always have. You are so correct about rule books.

There is the internal problem of me just wanting nothing more than the freedom to be who I am.

Just take it as it comes. Nothing elese seems important.

Hugs,

Andrea
