Crossdressers; Have you gotten over purging yet?

[FeelingLikeMyself]

So, I've been talking to other CDs and the conversation eventually comes around to purging; Has it stopped for you? When was the last time? How do you stop?

And I was curious about everyone else here, and how they've handled it and if they've gotten past it. Why isn't important, because I suspect that the reason is nearly universal.

So, let's talk.

I have lost count of the money I have lost through purges over my lifetime. Looking back it would seem that purges happenned at signicant life time events such as new girlfriends, marriage, births, deaths, in fact anytime I considered that my urge to dress was not "normal" or the sort of thing any sane responsible human being should be doing. However after every purge the familar twitchings and need to dress even partly soon returned and my stash started to grow yet again. I have always purchased my own clothing as opposed to clandestine borrowing so every purge and restart has always been at quite a cost.
I think in the last 10 years (probably since my mid 50's) I have resisted the urge to purge and am now very happy with my tranny/CD collection of clothing, heels, wigs etc. Thinking about it though it has not been a conscious decision to never purge more of a realisation that I am not getting any younger, my dressing harms is a most pleasurable secret hobby that I can indulge in as long as my libido lasts and lets me enjoy those pleasures. As I age and the incredible sexiness of dressing declines I suppose a final purge will be inevitable but until then I will continue to enjoy while I can.

Time and money is always a factor. I lost some extremely beloved gifts because of purging including my first pair of heels *sigh*.

Whenever I feel that need, I've started shoving everything in a duffle bag and burying it in the closet. I feel better after a day or 2 and everything comes out gets ironed and I'm happy again.

I've only done one put away this year and no purges. PROGRESS!

Oh my the purge yes many times, and always, I miss the feeling and start to collect again for me a couple times were after a playdate and I was ok got that out of my system, yea sure I did only to come back even stronger, and one purge was as I got older and was like no one is going to be interested so might as while stop, but then I was like oh I need to go out for a drive in stockings heels and a skirt so back to collecting.

omg i felt like i was the only one....countless pairs of panties in the trash....only to start all over again over an itch...lol nothing like the feeling of putting on pair of panties when you haven't for a long time. feeling the need to shave, moisturize and just make yourself feel pretty. a fresh pair of pantyhose always is my trigger.....if i buy new ones i know i will be dressing for a while

Since I came out as my real gender and accepted being trans openly, the purging has stopped. Before that though I spent a fortune on buying different types of clothes, lingerie, shoes, then moved on to breast forms, gaffs and more to look as feminine as I could. Make up and perfume, sex toys. Then I would feel, well not sure guilty is the right word and purge. Occasionally I’d put away rather than purge but then I’d get that feeling, the urge to dress and have to start saving and collecting again.
