I Am So Depressed I Wake Up Tired and Feel Tired All Day

I HATE WHEN MY PARENTS KEEP SAYING "you'll grow up to be a fine young man and a man has learn to take care of his family." I honestly feel like crying and punching something because it really hurts to be called a "man". For 5 1/2 years I've always felt like a female and the feeling gets stronger every day. I don't know what to do.

Thank you but my parents won't be supportive over this because they are pure christians.

I understand that. Will they push you away then? Or will they still love you doesnt matter what?

You still have to learn how to handle responsibilities, no matter what gender. Everyone needs a skill and a job to pay the bills. I know depression sucks. My own job starts in a few months and it seems like a nightmare to survive stress when I'm suffering in my mind. But we all are. Depression is so common that it's painful to know how people are still waking up early morning and arriving to work. But with depression, that is success. So make very tiny easy goals and celebrate on succeeding. That's a way to try coping. I hope you find a way to make your parents realize you'll still be dependable no matter what gender.

Oh man. have a honest conversation with your parents. I know how hard that can be.
How do your parents think about it?
Having no power because of depressed feelings is so bad. I am sorry but please solve it. One day you need to do it anyway. *hug*
