So basically since I've been 4 I've worn boys clothes and such, hung out with boys but also some girls. Anyways, when I was around 5th grade I started wearing girl clothes again, with no pressure from anyone to do so. I just wore them because I don't know I felt fine in them didn't feel uncomfortable, and this lasted until a quarter of the way into sophmore year. All of a sudden I felt practically uncomfortable in everything I was wearing. I couldn't stand dresses. So I though hey, maybe I'll feel more comfortable in boys clothes. Buzzed off my whole head, wore my dad's clothes ect. I just don't know what happened but since I'm a lesbian it makes since I wear masculine clothes but at the same time i just feel so uncomfortable with my big thighs and big breasts. I bind, probably unsafely too, I wear baggy clothes. I just can't stand my body. I don't know wear to turn, because if I've been feeling like this for my whole life I would of been like hey I probably transgender, but since this huge identity change and this sudden dysphoria I really don't know. I've looked online everywhere considering I have horrible mood swings, and think people don't love me enough, and paranoid people are out to hurt me (I thought my doctor was a psychopath trying to harm me or kill me), and I also cut because i get so agitated and irritated. All this symptoms point to a mental illness, rather that be borderline personlaty disorder, bdd, or depression ect. But what I don't understand is for awhile i felt boyish, that when away, and came back full blunt force which makes me think im transgender. I put my name to xavier on here, I'm fine when people call me he but its confusing . I really need help

I think this is the case with a lot of people who have gender dysphoria. It gets worse with age as your secondary birth gender characteristics become more prominent (or pronounced).

There may be also be other reasons for you to feel like this (not related to gender dysphoria), but only a therapist can help you know for sure.
