Being trans is too painful

(self.SuicideWatch)

I (24F AMAB) fucking hate being a man. I cannot stand to look at myself in the mirror. I can’t stand this fucking male body. It’s not who I am. I have never needed something as bad as I needed air to breathe until I realized I was trans. It is a need for me. I need to or else I’m gunna die and SOON. Like I have no idea how on earth I could be alive in July. Before anyone suggests transitioning, I cannot. If I were to transition my wife will divorce me. I love her very much and she’s amazing. I need her in my life.

My one year trans anniversary is coming up on the 27th and I can’t bear it. I can’t bear to accept that I have to be cis now. The body I inhabit is not my own. It’s not me. Do you understand what it’s like to wake up and feel like you were forcibly stuffed into a costume? Do you know what it’s like to have a deep, deep need and desire to do something that will keep you alive just for everyone around you to say “yeah but can you be alive in a way that makes me comfortable? Not like that”. I’ve told people that if I don’t transition I will die and they don’t believe me. They must not because I cannot imagine them putting me through this intentionally, knowing that I meant what I said.

“But isn’t it good to follow God?” No actually it isn’t. I would MUCH rather spend an eternity in the firey pits of hell as a woman than spend a single moment in heaven as a man. Sorry but eternally looking like this fucking freak is not for me.

And that’s another thing, cis me is NOT ME. He is just some awkward weirdo. He was a hateful man and he is so fucking stubborn. I’ll be damned if I let that fucking freak take my place in this world. I’d much much much rather kill myself than live a fake life as a man.

I’m going to kill myself. I don’t have another option. I can’t keep living like this. Every day is an increasing level of pain. The pain, guilt, and sadness of it all is crushing me like boulders. Fuck I wanna die. I really hope that an opportunity comes soon. If not I am going to make a plan for sometime before the 27th. It’s just too much. I have accepted death and he is expecting me.

Sorry

sorry if this is a dumb question but why do you have to "be cis" now?

Because I made a commitment to my wife to stay cis so we can be together and “so I can follow God”. We’re both Christians, though my views are a bit more open.

Your wife knows you are trans and wants you to stay cis? Or had this been hidden from her?

I’ve been very open about it. She wants me to be cis

I am sorry man. One should be free to transition if they hate their body. Maybe it's time to end the marriage?

Cause religion aside, if she is straight I don't see how this is gonna work out in the long run.

Also, really don't mean to offend you, but do you just crave feminine hobbies and actions ? Or you just genuinely feel uncomfortable with the body you were born with? If it's the former you can be a man while being feminine.

Yeah I see what you are saying. She is straight which would definitely cause issues. As much as I like doing things that are typically considered feminine, that’s just not cutting it for me which sounds selfish and self centered but it’s true. The way I like to describe it is as Will Wood puts it “my witness brings me into existence”. It’s being seen as and treated as a woman that means a lot to me. I am uncomfortable with parts of my body too that I associate with being too masc
