She also makes me feel weak and guilty for being depressed, telling me that I can 'manage it'. :/ I don't think she believes in DID either. She hasn't evaluated me and she says it's probably stress. I would get a new therapist, but I don't want to stress out my current guardian. I'll have to if this continues, though.

and she knows I have gender issues and she is insisting that she teaches me how to be more lady-like. What the heck does that have to do with anything???
All of this is so wrong!
Have you(s) ever told her you want to be more lady like? In that case I could kinda understand it although a far more professional action would be to help you to accept yourself, gender issues and all. I hope you'll find that T once you're up to looking for him/her.
As for the original post. I often feel the same way,more often about our life than about the body. So many of us want out so often.
Sometimes alters also want out of the body, C in particular. Instead they end up taking over and do stuff they wanna do. C might go on a lonely hike with lots of black metal in earplugs and wearing his own clothes, or he might give me lots of muscle ache cause he likes to overdo the exercise (which we usually dont do at all). Often I end up sitting somewhere alone in the woods or something. Maybe switching to a reliable alter isn't always bad. I know leaving him alone for a while helps to take the edge off for C in particular. I don't know if this works for other systems though.
