My name is Sarah-Jane and I would like to share one of my experiences with you. I am 29 years old and have been a closet TV for nearly 15 years. I have agonised for years about not being able to share my secret with anyone because of the fear of having the mickey taken out of me.

Anyway about 6 months ago, I decided that it was time I faced up to what I was, and decided to take the plunge by going out dressed in public. I was very nervous.

It was a Friday night in August last year, and I took nearly all day to prepare myself for my big adventure. After soaking in the bath for hours, I finally got out and picked what I was going to wear that night.

I put on my underwear, then sat at the dressing table and took great pride in applying my make-up and styling my hair. One and a half hours later I was ready to put on my dress - I slipped it over my head, being very careful not to mess up my hair, and it fell into place,

I put a black leather belt around my waist and put on my favourite jewellery, finally stepping into my high heels. I took one last look at myself in the mirror and thought I looked fantastic! I was terrified at this point - I picked up my handbag and walked to the front door, my knees were trembling. I couldn't do it. I went back into the living room, poured myself a large vodka, and sat for a while. I thought to myself 'why am I sitting here after all the preparation I have done?' At that point I picked up my car keys, took a deep breath and headed for the door. I opened it and stepped out, locked the door behind me and went to my car. I got in and drove off, realising that now there was no turning back!

I drove for a while deciding what to do... I was quite enjoying driving around town, just looking at everyone. After a while I decided that it was time I parked and got out. It was about 11.30pm as I left the safety of my car and began walking through the town. I was lovely, the more I walked, the more confidence I was gaining - nobody realised who I really was.

Now I go out on a regular basis, and it has done wonders for my confidence. You just have to take those first initial steps, once you have overcome them it is plain sailing from then on. Trust me, I know, so if there are any other TVs wanting to go out dressed (I know there must be plenty), my message to you all is just go for it, you won't regret it!

Loadsa Luv, Sarah-Jane XX
