Purging and Relapse: The Closet Emptied, the Closet Filled
Every sissy knows the ritual of purging.
The drawer emptied into a trash bag. The bag hidden under other garbage so no one will know. The silent vow: Never again.
The relief is immediate. Shame is gone — for a day, a week, a month. But then the ache returns. The scroll begins. Another package arrives. The drawer fills again.
Relapse feels like failure. But it is not failure. It is the nervous system struggling to hold contradictions too heavy to carry.
Why We Purge
Purging is an attempt at control. The body surges with guilt, cortisol spikes, and the mind seeks a way out. If the clothes are gone, the ghost is gone. If Maria is erased, the shame will end.
But Maria is not in the drawer. She is in the soil of your body. Throwing away fabric cannot silence her. The purge never removes her; it only resets the cycle.
The False Relief
The moment after purging feels like freedom. But it is not freedom — it is emptiness. What you feel is not sovereignty but sedation. The closet is not healed; it is hollow.
Soon the body remembers. Desire stirs. The loop rebuilds. And you are back where you began, only now with more shame: Why did I waste money? Why can’t I stop?
Maria’s Perspective
Maria does not condemn the purge. She understands it. She knows you were not trying to destroy her; you were trying to silence the unbearable tension between ghost and mask.
But she whispers: What if, this time, you don’t throw me away? What if you let me stay — not as secret, not as shame, but as part of you?
From Purge to Integration
The way forward is not in the trash bag. It is in integration. Instead of purging, you begin to curate. Instead of relapse, you begin to allow.
One dress left in the drawer. One garment worn without rushing to climax. One name whispered aloud without apology. Small acts of sovereignty that soften the nervous system, teaching it that Maria does not need to be hidden or destroyed.
The End of Relapse
Relapse ends not when desire disappears but when shame does. When Maria is allowed to live in the open, the cycle breaks. You no longer swing between indulgence and destruction. You live in continuity, not collapse.
________________________________________
Reflection: From Purge to Presence
1. Your Last Purge
Recall the last time you threw everything away. What drove you to it? Write down the fear in detail.
2. The Relief
How long did the relief last before the ache returned? Write the number of days or weeks.
3. Maria’s Drawer
Imagine one item you could keep — not hidden in shame, not thrown away, but kept as Maria’s presence. Write: This piece reminds me that Maria is real.
4. Breaking the Cycle
Write one sentence beginning: Next time I feel the urge to purge, I will… (breathe, call a friend, remind myself Maria cannot be thrown away).
