Hi I’m Katie and I’m just saying hello to everyone . I’ve been on here several times before but left because of mental health issues I’ve been dressing about 6 years and finally I’m starting to sort myself out . I’m currently having therapy which is really helping . It’s not the Katie part of me that is a problem , she gives me so much confidence. I go out when things are normal to the pub And shops sometimes . I have realised that it’s time to start loving myself a lot more and giving myself a break. I’m adopted and had quite a violent time when I was younger my brother used to hit my mum and I had some abuse as well , which I didn’t realise how much it has affected me , I’ve always had this emptiness and I realise that the only person who can fill that emptiness is myself . I used to wonder where god was but he’s always been there for me when I dressed up and went out . Now I’m really excited about my life , I’ve made some you tube videos to help other people and have self published 12 books about being Katie , they are mainly poetry and lyrics, I have just published a book on amazon called Corbeau It’s about a crossdressing detective ( it was part of my therapy ) I’ve written some songs as well which are on soundcloud. I went along to a football match as Katie and unfortunately it was cancelled but I still had a drink in the bar . I’ve recently recorded a video for men’s mental health after watching prince Williams programme and every time I do something in the day I give myself a tick , even getting out of bed in the morning . When things settle down I’m hoping to go to church as Katie and back to MIND . I love designing as well and have created a dress in the suffragette style and have ordered some wooden bangles to paint as well . This morning I was interviewed by Sam Wise from the being LGBTQ podcast about my crossdressing which I thought went really well and gave me lots of confidence. I’ve been in touch with some museums to see what they are doing LGBT wise . If anyone wants to contact me I’m on Twitter as Katie Wilson Crossdresser talks mental health . I’ve struggled with social media I don’t do Facebook or messenger or even watts app to control my mental health and won’t check in on here as I need to control my internet time rather than it control me but I’m on Twitter or you can contact me via my website which is https://the-woman-inside.weebly.com Thanks for reading Katie x.
