For everyone: being forthright and honest, how do you overcome intense Emotional waves (Giddy- va va Voom) when CD?

In my Experience, a lot of people Mention intense emotional waves related to cd (caused by cd)

Emotional waves i.e moments right after putting on cd

emotion ranging from simple Giddiness to out right  VA VA Voom (a.k.a the hrnys)

How do you overcome this/these intense Emotional waves/points and just _ya know_ be?

Time dressed. If you wear clothing and present for days or weeks at a time, it will become normal. When I first put on feminine clothing, I had much the same excitement that you had. Being full time for many years, what I wear is just something I put on to cover up and I dress to the occasion instead of just to dress up.

I am still in the phase of wonderment and glee when dressed as a woman.  I love it, but have only had occasional experiences for only a day at a time.  Next weekend I will be able to present as a woman for 4 days. 

So excited, Jessica

Agree with Dena. I've been full-time for more than a year now. The first couple of months were surreal, that this was really happening.

A year later, while I still love presenting female, it's really just a matter of getting on with life. Those occasions that require glamming up a bit are still fun, and a special treat.

I do not have any cloth or fashion items for men. I always wear women's.

Yes. Still it is exciting to wear some new fashion items.
Yesterday I ordered more than 20 clothes from internet shopping malls. It is enjoyable.

My suggestion would be to begin HRT. I was a crossdresser for many many years and I always get excited when I dress to the nines. I feel real when I get dressed. One of my dreams is to be locked in the Venus.com warehouse for a month and try on all the clothes. I'm considered too old for most of them but they are just so sexy and colorful. Having been on Spiro for almost thirty years as I have it will definitely kill the va va voom but somehow I don't miss it. I've been able to concentrate on being a good human and join society that I shunned far too long. Yes I've gotten boobs, a rounded butt etc. but honestly learning how to be socially active by climbing out from under the rock I had been living. Priceless. And these lovely ladies on Susan's have been a great help in finding myself.

when i first started becoming curious about how it feels...to CD...i put it on and it felt sort of out of place for me. yes the outfit is nice, sexy, and comfy but i'm just not there. im not suited for it. i feel blank, empty, blank. it's like im not wearing the outfit nor the outfit wearing me...just nothing

that's when the thought of HRT comes to mind.

what DawnOday says is dead on. go with HRT.

Hi, Sara,
When I first started CDing as a deeply troubled pre-pubescent boy, I had a feeling of peace and calm which is precisely why I never let it go; feminine clothing on me was never a turn-on although I could not say that about some outfits on the girls I knew...  It was only years later that I realized my male persona was all smoke and mirrors.

Hi,

New-ish here. One of the reasons I joined is to try and work out whether that big rush from dressing is all there is for me, or if there is something deeper.

Been dressing as long as I can remember really, but only on/off and punctuated by long periods of purging and telling myself I won't do it again. Not in a place right now where I can really spend a long time, although I did work form home for a day recently fully dressed which was so nice, especially when on the phone with various people.

Lately I have been wondering if the dressing and the rush is what I do it for. I found this placewhen looking for more information, and I hope that talking about it with people of across the whole spectrum will help resolve some of it for me.

My answer to the op - I found doing a day of work as Karen meant the initial thrill dropped off pretty quick, the rest was just.....nice.
