Hello everyone.  I am Christa from Iowa. 

It has been a few days since I joined and I am truly thankful for all the encouraging comments. 

I started dressing up at a very young age where I would even stay home from school “sick” so I could try on my mothers things   I always thought I was weird or something was wrong with me and try to stop, but as many of you know stopping does not really work.  I have done many purges, only to buy an even larger cute wardrobe the next time.  

I have been fortunate enough to have a few friends that accept me and I have been able to have some fun experiences along the way.   

I am single, but I have raised a daughter myself since she was a baby.  Now she is 21 and in college, so I have gotten to explore my feminine persona much more.  

I am thankful to be here, and don’t hesitate to message me.

Hi Christa

Welcome to CDH 🙂

Although you've only been a member for a few days I'm sure you'll already have seen what a warm and supportive community this is. It's a great place to make friends, chat, or just sit back and dip into everything that's going on.

You've written a great intro post, and I'm sure that my reply will be the first of many.

There's lots to explore here ... enjoy!

And if you need help with anything, just shout. There's always someone nearby to lend a hand.

Hugs

Hi Christa and welcome.

You’re quite right of course, stopping never really lasts.

You’ll find plenty of tales of purging and re-buying here.

You’ll also find a very warm and supportive bunch of girls who will love to swap stories and chat. 
Thanks for the lovely intro post and bio details. 
Looking forward to learning more about Christa

Hugs

Hi, Christa, thanks for the informative intro, and well done, raising your daughter by yourself!

I used to stay home "sick" but from work! just to feel the joy of having a whole day to dress 🙄.

This is a great community, made so by the truly caring and helpful girls you'll find here, I love it!

Welcome to the family 😊.

Welcome Christa. Glad to see another Iowan here. I am from central part of the state. I am a long way down the road, presenting as Cassie almost all the time.

Hi Christa, welcome to CDH.

As others have said, stopping isn't a lasting option.  Once a crossdresser, always a crossdresser. The worst bit about purging is the regret that you threw out stuff you loved and have no hope of getting back. 

Years ago I purged a pair of black 5" stilettos. I loved wearing them, and was sad to see them go. When the urge to dress eventually and inevitably returned, I was amazed to find that exact same pair of shoes in a charity shop. Naturally I snapped them up!

It's good that you have supportive friends in your life.  They are worth so much. And you're in a worldwide community of sisters on this site and beyond, so don't be shy in getting involved on the forums and in the live chat. Any questions, just shout up, and have fun!

Hi Christa, welcome! It’s nice to see another Iowan here on CDH! I’m in central Iowa myself. My story has some similarities to yours. I tried to quit a few times before I accepted that there was no quitting who I really was. I’m divorced now, so any time I’m at home is femme time for me. Anyway, welcome, hope you find this a place of belonging, and I’d be happy to chat anytime!

Hey Christa

welcome to CDH.  Raising a daughter is a special achievement, and doing it alone is doubly special…so well done you.  Does your daughter know about your dressing?

as you and others have mentioned, purging does not work, and it is so hard ‘throwing out’ those lovely girlie clothes.  So it’s good to come to terms and embrace this wonderful and enjoyable thing that we do.

I am sure you will have fun on this site, the girls here are very helpful and great fun.

Hope to catch you in the ‘chat’ sometime.

Hugs

Christine

Hi Christa,

So good to see a new member! Thanks for sharing you personal story and a lot of it mirrors the same experiences a lot of us on CDH have had. Purging is terrible and all it accomplishes is losing a lot of great stuff that you'll just have to buy back all over again, because the desire to dress ALWAYS comes back, usually stronger than ever.

You sound like a dynamite person and if you ever want to chat about anything, feel free to drop me a line. You'll find that we've all basically traveled this same road together at one time or another.

Hugs,

Rita
