I was born a man but I feel like a woman. I guess I Have had feelings like this since the age of 8 years old. I had nobody to turn to I was all alone I tried to deny that I was a woman inside. Why me. Was I born a bad person I am now 26 years old my parents' don't understand me in what I am going thorough? So what can I do about this I have nobody who understand me until I meet a guy called Kenneth.
He understands me, in what I am going thorough. There is no way out of life it is getting harder for me yes I am still a man I wish people would understand me. Now I have came out and told people how I feel in life. Kenneth is a good friend to have if I need to talk to, I wish my parents could understand me. But why me, why is it happening to me.
Am I a freak. My family and friends don't understand me, I wish I was dead, people are killing me anyhow in what they are doing to me. My life is one big mistake I should not have be born. Last year I overdosed myself I was sent to the mental health unit at Lister hospital in Stevenage for three weeks it was 50/50 chance that I will fully recover from this. But nobody can really understand us.
It just hurts us in what they said behind our backs I have not found anyone who really understand.
Nobody from the mental health team not even social works from social service how can they help us in what they know they only see the outside of us they don't see the inside they don't have a son or daughter. Only my friend Kenneth knows what it is like
My name is Jemma
I am 26 years old
