I really do not feel well

I am exhausted and broken because people are trying to turn me into a man when I'm a woman, A WOMAN, a biological woman, I was born a woman, I identify as a woman, but certain people in my life want to make me think like a man so I'll change genders and be unable to have children and therefore won't be able to pass on my genes. My head aches, I feel frightened and on edge, I have cried on and off all day. I've got this overpowering sense of hopelessness. I don't have an appetite but am making myself eat because I don't want to binge - binge eating is a bit of an issue for me. I don't want to wash or care for myself. I have some strong urges to do some very destructive things to myself but I'm just clinging on, trying to keep my head above water because I have my friend from the States coming to stay next week and I have to keep going when all I want to do is hide myself away and cry. I'm so alone. My family don't believe me; they say it's my comorbid mental illness (I have Asperger's and additional mental health issues) making me think this way but I know what people are doing and I know who they are too. It's only me who lives my life so I wish someone would believe me. I just wish someone could protect me from this.

  • I remember you posted about something similar not too long ago. My advice to you would be to distance yourself from the people who you believe are doing this. From what you said, it seems that your family are not the ones doing this, so that's a good thing. Look forward to your friend's visit next week and try to stay positive. Always remember that you are in control of your own life and gender and nobody is ever going to be able to change that.

    Greetings, "AngelCake". I requote DragonCat there, to support that and to support you.

    If you need to "hide" or "cry" then do that when needs must. There need not be any shame at all in doing so.

    If people are 'trying to turn you into a man' then ignore that as you feel - it makes no sense anyway...and so just tell them that! Even MEN produce children and pass on Genes, although they do not all admit it. 

    Look forward to your friend's visit next week and try to stay positive.

    I requote that as well. Focus upon yourself, do not worry about "appearing selfish", for it is all very well recalling other people and what they say, but when you yourself needs support or relief, then gain it either from yourself or from those who offer it. You can tell the difference, from however they treat you or how they make you feel. Past or Present.
