Hi all, I need your help. A lot of it if you can spare it. I am losing myself and I don't know what to do. When I was younger, I used to want to be a girl. I am about the only male in my family for some reason so I was always the odd one out. I used to pray that God would make me a girl like my sisters and cousins. However, I quickly grew out of that and developed into a normal masculine boy. I played sports, had girlfriends, the works. I loved my life and loved being a guy. But something changed once I started college. The feelings of wanting to be a girl started to return. Where I used to look at girls and wanting them sexually, I more and more started looking at girls and wanting to be them. I just pushed all of those thoughts out of my head and chalked it up to me not having a girlfriend for so long and needing to get laid. However, I started on a downward slope of depression that has now turned into anxiety. Now things have just gotten out of hand. I've started to have these different dreams. Some can be that I am a girl living her life doing things like going shopping or whatever. Then there are the dreams that are me in various stages of me becoming a girl. Then there are the dreams that scare me the most. This is where it gets NSFW, btw. I dream that I am a woman who is in a relationship with my best friend, and they are dreams where we make love with me as the women and my best friend as my boyfriend/husband. A lot of these dreams end up being "wet". Before these dreams started I had only had one wet dream before and that was when I first started puberty. But these dreams keep triggering panic attacks and I haven't been able to hang out with my best friend since they started. I wouldn't be able to look him in the eye. And the worst part is that if I start thinking about the dreams during the day, I start to get turned on. I don't understand it because I'm not attracted to guys nor have I ever been. I can't get a girlfriend because I am finding myself becoming more and more misogynistic the longer this goes on. I just want all of this to go away so that I can go back to loving my life and being one of the guys. Because as it stands right now, I have trouble sleeping and when I do I hope I wont wake up and have to face another day of this.
Can any of you help me? How do I get rid of this? I am sorry that this reads so poorly. It is taking all of my strength to type this because I am on the verge of a panic attack right now.

Start with a therapist who understands gender dysphoria issues or GID.
Then if you really want to stay as a man there's nothing anyone can do to make you change either way. Only you can do that.

As for the dreams it's okay scared8. I've had those and you have to realize that they are just dreams. You get over it and move on. Don't dump your friend because of it.

Now for attraction you will have to talk to someone else here or the therapist. I'm attracted to men and women and it doesn't bother me. But everyone is different. It's okay and no one here will make fun of you.

Don't worry.  There is nothing wrong with you or the dreams that you are having.  People have dreams all the time and they can signify many things.  Whatever is going on, there is nothing bad or wrong with what you are experiencing.  You are okay. 

As others suggested, therapy sounds like a good idea.  Talking things out with a trained professional that deals with gender issues will help you isolate why you feel this way.  From there you will be able to investigate the source of these feelings and address them the way you see fit.  It can also help you deal with the anxiety you're feeling.
