I am reading a book about willpower, ego depletion is when we use our will power that is in limited supply, leads to low will power then failure. All uses of our will power is from the same reserves. This will lead to drinking, drugs, binge, spending reckless if not in control.
We as transgender women deplete our will powers daily... By controlling our basic impulses of ourselves. Every time you deny a feminine or true to self expression, you use self control. Everytime you pretend to be someone your not, self control.
Do you feel you go through ego depletion often, such as because you restrict yourself so much you are weak in other areas of your life? Which then leads to more problems, and is a never ending cycle of turmoil? You cannot control your urges... Gain weight, can't focus, irritable.
And those who are living your authentic lives, do you feel much more in control now than before?
