• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hi, I did not initially see any threads on this topic from my brief looking, so please forgive me if this topic has already been covered.

I am gonna come clean and say that I struggle with Crossdressing to a great degree. I've had this desire since my parents divorced when I was under 8 years old. I struggle with it, is it ok, is it not ok, I ultimately think that it is sin, but then sometimes I get into the bondage of maybe it isn't, I do not know at times.

I have posted on Craigslist looking to crossdress as well as posting in another forum that is for people with this issue as well.

Its getting worse too, the desire is getting so bad that I think about being with a man while dressed. I do not dress full time and have not done anything.

I have recently joined a 12 step group at my church and this is the secret issue that I am trying to overcome. Maybe I just need to accept it, I do not know.

Anyway, I probably posted too much information already. I just know that I need help and need to be set free, but I am struggling.


P.S. I just read the guidelines for this folder, let it be said that I am struggling with this issue and that I do not endorse it at all, I am just confused.

I don't know if you've seen this, but this blog site looks very helpful. My Crossdressing Recovery | Overcoming crossdressing addiction It is written by an individual who is recovering from cross-dressing.

It sounds like you've taken a good step in joining a 12 step group. Reducing the loneliness and isolation is a great idea and is very helpful. Drawing from the strength of others walking a similar journey is powerful.

I think some of us do struggle with issues ongoing. But we have choices that allow us to make healthy and good decisions. I know the struggling part gets annoying and frustrating, but sometimes the best we do is to acknowledge we need God's hand in our lives and to help us through these difficult times.

The fact that you are searching for help in managing your struggle is good and healthy. As you surround yourself with support and encouragement, you may find that the struggles lessen. We can pray they lessen. But most of all, you can know you are not alone.
