Crossdressers-Haven.com

Hello my name is Danielle, and I have been crossdressing as long as I can remember. It's been a love hate experience for me. I love to dress, I feel so happy when I am a women. But I think about what my friends and family would say if they knew, or I start a new relationship, and then I hated it. I have quit more times than I want to think about, throwing away everything! just to start all over again. The bright side, I do love to shop. So four years ago I end a relationship I had been in for a couple of years I went to see a psychiatrist, to find out what the hell is wrong with me. I was so depressed and unhappy I was not dressing at the time. she prescribed Xanax for my anxiety attacks, and Prozac for my depression. Worked great, didn't feel anything anymore! I was thinking women are depressed not men! why am I such a girl? I started dressing again and got off Prozac and Xanax, they are horrible drugs. So no more purging for me, I am what I am! a man in a dress............
I'm 55 today, happy birthday to me! I am heterosexual and would just like to meet people like me, because I know I'm not alone

You are definitely not 'alone'! There's a great group of people here who have been in this rodeo for a while and can help you find answers as well as provide a feeling of community. I'm with you that drugs are not the best solution most of the time. Being en femme is my Prozac, the best calming and uplifting experience I can have. Because I am closeted, some times I get a bit grumpy when I don't have my fix.

But, anyway, welcome to the "Haven" and enjoy your new friends. If only we/I had the internet back in the early 60's, life might have been different.

Join us in the chatroom. Oh, and HAPPY Birthday!!

Welcome, Danielle.

I dunno. You go to see a psychiatrist to find out what's wrong with you and she prescribes drugs. So I guess you didn't find any answers to your questions.

"Why am I such a girl?" is kind of like a rhetorical question, but it does get to the heart of a lot of things. I'm not sure, in the end, you can answer such questions. When I asked them of myself, it has tended to be because I wanted to make the CDing go away.

The trouble is I *am* such a girl in part of me. It's just not something that you can fit into any of your standard boxes.

Hey Anthony I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear. I didn't go to the psychiatrist for cd I went for depression I never told her I was a cd. The only people I have told about my cd is the people that read this post. I was just trying to tell a little about my life in a few sentences. Im not very good at explaining things in writing, this is hard for me. I feel like I'm coming out of the closet, I spent most of my life denying who and what I am! CD
I know what you mean when you say I'm such a girl. Because I to am (such a girl) I find that hard to believe, but that is the truth. I just wanted to know that other people have the same feeling as I do. Most of my life I would have said problem (as I do). But now I know my cd is not a problem for me, I love it. I have to except that I'm such a girl too! and that is why I joined cd haven. And just you saying, you are such a girl helps me more than you know. I'm not alone Danielle

Glad it helps.

It is a problem. There's no getting away from the fact that it is a problem. I mean people expect you to be man all the way through, but you're not. With me, there are plus sides to it, in that the girl side of me is so much better as a judge of situations.

Welcome to the Haven, Danielle, and Happy Birthday, too!
