i've been laying here staring at the wall for some time now. I just don't care much about anything right now. I kind of don't even want to post this right now because I feel like I'm just fishing for attention, but I don't really know where else to go. My mom and family has been throwing more crap at me lately, telling me that they're embarrassed when i'm out with them, constantly noting at me that i won't amount to anything in life, and at one point i told her about suicidal feelings and she told me that whatever i do in life doesn't affect her, that i should "do it", whatever friends i had won't even bother to talk to me after i left band because i started to feel like they cared more about my instrument then they did about my personality. my family doesn't help with anything because they tell me i'm just "faking it", that " know it's not true", and i just don't know what to believe anymore. i really do feel like i'm just a blemish in my family, that if i just left everything would be nice and peachy; that life would be wrapped in a cute little bow for everyone around me. I can't stand even sleeping anymore because i just don't care enough to deal with dreaming, even pleasantly. I have no motive to get up and get out of bed to do anything. I just feel like i have no place here, and should just go away. this isn't even about transgender issues anymore, i just don't want to be around anyone, i just want to disappear

Hugs, hon. I'm sorry to hear you are being treated so badly by the very people who should be standing by you and celebrating your realisation of your identity. What they are doing to you is abuse, pure and simple. How you deal with it I'm not sure - if you're old enough you should consider looking into ways to move out. I know it's easier said than gone, but don't let their bully tactics get to you. Is there anyone at all in your life that you can reach out to? Hugs. :)

Well, i'm not too sure i have anyone, the people i talk to in real life just push me away and don't even want to bother dealing with me, so i really only have here to vent to when i need it...

Have a big hug from me. You are in a tough place right now and it has got to be hard for you. This is made even tougher with no one around to talk to. Just remember that no matter what anyone thinks you know what is in your heart. The haters will hate the disbelievers will disbelieve, that does not change the truth. I hope you can find someone to talk with about this and if you are in a position where you can find somewhere more positive to be then I would certainly encourage that. If you are not then it might be time to find some real friends or a support group you can attend in person. I hope you can see your way through this and good luck

I've been here. My father always told me what an embarrassment I am to him, and the family.
When I came out, for gods sake, he would not even let me go see the family when I came out gay. My friends didn't listen.

Suicide is never the answer though, I have tried, I have failed, I asked myself "Whats the point in killing myself?"
You're still young... you've yet to experience life, trust me there is a WHOLE other world out there. And I know it does not seem like it at this point in your life... but things get better TRUST me, things get better.

There are indeed many resources out there for people who feel exactly as you do. Just don't be afraid to reach out for that help...

You could look here:
https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,193934.msg1728688.html#msg1728688

you could do a few things you like... like drawing, or writing..

there is a chat on susans by the way...

sometimes other people try to make other people fit their image of them.
But you are you, not an image other people have. You might tell that... that you will be still the same person, like your male/female twin, with the same sense of humour.. and some other feelings they do not know about...
you should do what you feel makes you happy...

Don't let those comments get to you. They are often meant to help you get onto a path they feel is more safe. Often its motivated by insecurity or fears of the people saying them.

here is another resource:
http://hawaii.edu/hivandaids/Some_Considerations_in_Coming_Out_Trans_to_Your_Parents_and_Family.pdf

You might think about a good gender therapist... a supportive person to help you along...
if they are not supportive look for another...
you might tell at home you want counseling, for emotional purposes, and pick someone who has gender on their list...
if its connected with emotional issues or depression it might be covered...
or you might ask at plannedparenthood, a lgbt center or a teacher you trust for counseling...

its a step by step process, but many have done it before and succeeded... just take the time you need but keep at it...
and it can be fun to explore a bit...

and if you want to talk to someone in person, you could talk to a friend or call here for example:
they also have a chat...

many *hugs*
