I wish there was a magic button to turn me into a woman, I don't know why but for the longest time I've just felt like life would be better if I was one. I genuinely lose sleep over thinking about if there was some sort of spell, or potion or whatever that could turn me into a girl instantly.

Hey @Cqlc4x4! And a warm welcome to the forums :)
That magic button sounds incredible. And I so wish that was an option for people!
Maybe the reality of the situation isn't that simple... but there are so many ways that you can affirm yourself as a woman without the magic. Maybe referring to yourself as a woman on online spaces like this could be something you'd want to try? Feel free to let the community here know if you'd like any help with that!
I really like this site: TransHub. Have you seen it before? There's lots of info for people that don't feel aligned with the gender assigned at birth.
If you ever want to talk to someone on the phone about what's keeping you up at night, check out QLife. It's free and anonymous.
Otherwise, finding people who can relate to you - or to simply listen without judgement - online is such a good way to look after yourself. So it's awesome to see you sharing so openly tonight. You deserve to feel at ease with who you are.
Hope to see you around the forums!
