Hello, I'm Ace!

Hi, my name is Ace and I'm not exactly sure what I am. I feel like I need help and advice so I have come here. I was born a female by the name of Samantha and I am 24 years old. I have always enjoyed being a tomboy and wearing boy's clothes since I was young but around 20 I started feeling more and more uncomfortable in my own body. This feeling has peaked and dipped for the past few years and just recently has gotten worse again. I was in tears, screaming at my room that my name was not Samantha, it was Ace. It was always Ace and that's what I should be called. I just found a new therapist who has agreed to call me by my name but I'm not sure what to do now. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated as I feel kind of like I'm drowning here. I just recently told my mother that I don't feel comfortable in my own body and that I feel like maybe I should have been born a boy. She was very supportive but I'm not sure she fully believed that I might not want to be a girl anymore. I'm frustrated that I have to wait a whole week to talk to my therapist again cause I feel he's the only one that truly understands. I'm not sure what else to do now.

 

Thanks guys, after looking around the site more I am glad to be here. I think I can get some good advice and help here and then maybe I can help others.
