Gender Identity
Hi I am a 26 year old male. I have feelings that i am a women inside. This was with me from my childhood. i was and still am afraid to tell anyone abot this. I thought when i get older it will go away but i think it is getting stronger. My family is pressuring for marriage.But i don't want to distroy another person's life. im tottaly confused. i want to dress up and want to be treated like a girl. its too confusing. i have this feeling most of the time. But very rarely i feel the other way too. I am afraid that my family will disown me. i wiil lose job if this goes out. i used to cross dress also and mastubate imagining me as a women. Now days i feel really weak to go forward and want to end my life. i feel like that will be better than this. i want to understand myself. I don't know where to start. Please point me in right direction Thanks

Hi dear,
Gender Identity disorder isn't an extremely rare condition. You seem to be a well informed and educated person.
Please go to online forums for people having ur sexual identification, read about their feelings and struggles, u will realise ur not alone.
Alongside try to get in touch with a registered LGBT group leaders in ur city.
Next Steps
You need to visit a psychiatrist ASAP, to sit together and talk in detail about ur problems and feelings and a future course of action can be jointly taken. Psychiatrist will help u out by counseling ur parents and facilitating their understanding and acceptance of ur state.
It's a troubled road ahead, but u need to be strong.
Health Tips
Life is precious, u might be going through worst phase of ur life, but then there's dawn after dusk. Please hold urself together, fight ur weakness and stand up for urself. Take it as a challenge or just wait it out, this phase will pass.
Best wishes
Dr Vijendra
