I am terrified out of my mind that im going to lose my girlhood because that's the best thing that's happened to me. If i lost it i would be devastated. I would cry all night if i lost it ;( i need some help please. I'm afraid its a phase.

KellBelle,

Not positive but I imagine that Yenneffer is saying that your girlhood is not an object to be lost.

Sounds like you are in a pretty rough spot. So sorry you are having these thoughts and/or feelings. Are you saying that you are worried your girlhood is a phase? As in, you will just outgrow it? If it is the best thing you have going, I doubt that is a phase.

If you are worried that it is a phase because you are doubting yourself, that is so totally normal. People of all ages go through days where they doubt themselves. There are posts on this site where people are worried that they feel like a fraud, fake or faux. I go through many of these times. It is tough but try to stay strong in your convictions. It might be time to try to distract yourself with some work or something fun. Then come back to these thoughts when you are in a better spot?

I am not a trained professional. All my ideas are just that, ideas. They might help, but it depends on the person and what you are experiencing. I hope your day gets easier.

I wish you a better day tomorrow.

With loving thoughts,

Look... you cannot lose it.

You could do a few things to come in contact... some nurturing activities like cooking, or gardening... or being creative...

If you are depressed you might see a counselor... maybe a school counselor you trust... someone to talk to...


and there are helplines... 
here for example:
glbthotline.org/hotline.html
they also have a chat

translifeline.org

KellBelle,

I think they are right. It is not something that can be lost. Depression an bad days are something that can't be lost either. Sometimes bad times hit us. I think what is important is how we handle those bad times. Like I suggested, something to distract you. If you add in what Laura posted, it could be an activity that embraces your girlhood as well.
It took me a while to realize that sometimes bad days happen and it is not related to gender at all(sounds dumb when I read what I just wrote but I am so new in this journey too that I tend to see everything from the perspective of gender identity).

I hope your day and week continues to improve.

With warm thoughts,

Joanna

KellBelle,

There is no one so far that can look at you, or ask questions and based on those results say you are not a girl. They can guess, suspect, allude and conclude. However, this is something that it is really for the person experiencing it  to realize. There can be roadblocks from psychological, medical, familial or societal members. However, if this is what you are, they can't see inside your mind. At this point, it may be easier to say "I'm not a girl". Sooner or later, it will come back if you are transsexual.

If you are not. Try to not go in that direction. You have already suggested that this will depress you. I don't know that it is dysphoria that makes you think you are not a girl or even makes you sad when you think that. It is conflicting thoughts and feelings at battle with each other(that may be dysyphoric). That is where the therapist I suggested in another post helps. Not to tell you what to do but to help you find a way to your own truth through these conflicting things going on within.

Not sure I can help you with much more. I can suggest you look for the good in whatever you can (people and situations). I can suggest you see a therapist and work through this. I can suggest you try to distract yourself when you get in one of these moods. But I can't and shouldn't force you to do any of these things. Goodness knows, I am in a very dark place myself right now. Perhaps it is because it is not about me that I can look at your cries for help in a more objective way than I can look at myself.

Look at doing something. Reading, riding a bike, watching a video. Bide your time till this mood passes or you come to grips with it. I hope your day and week gets better now.

With warm thoughts,

If you are that afraid of not being a girl, that would be a really strong indication that you really are a girl.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

I've already tried fighting against it... doesn't work it doesn't seem to want to leave my mind. EVER. But maybe thats my ocd (really would depress me if that was causing me to be a girl because i just want to be one without ocd causing it). Im so afraid that im not really trans (because that would mean im not a girl). Im scared that if i shove it away it won't come back at all because i don't want to believe im a guy at all.

As said... you can't lose it...

and cis people usually don't question their gender, apart from a little curiousity (how would it be ? )
So this alone could be a sign in itself.

Just try to relax.. and be yourself... and try to enjoy yourself...

and you could look for counseling...

Well you could think of a few things you would like to tell them...
so you'd be prepared a bit...
just for a few minutes, like homework...


there is no need to worry...
especially since you like the F on your profile :)

simply tell them how you feel and what you want when you are there...
they are there to help...


and do a few things you like meanwhile...


big hugs

Don't concentrate on your doubts... just trust it will be all right...
concentrate on what you want....


just do what you feel is your part...
and then try to relax and do something else...
maybe something creative, like writing...


hugs
