Some days I really wish I was a guy. Other days I'm perfectly fine with being female. Sometimes I just couldn't care less about either, other times I feel like something is wrong. I have no idea what any of this means and I'm so confused. Do you have any ideas? I'm sorry to bother you with this, I just really need help right now
It sounds like you are questioning your gender identity. I think right now it’s safe to say you are identifying somewhere on the non-binary spectrum.
Here are some gender identities you may want to think about researching and exploring.
Gender fluid is a gender identity which refers to a gender which varies over time. A gender fluid person may at any time identify as male, female or any other non-binary identity, or some combination of identities.

Genderqueer is an umbrella term with a similar meaning to non-binary. It can be used to describe any gender identities other than man and woman, thus outside of the gender binary. Genderqueer identities can include one or more of the following:
Neither man nor woman (genderless, agender )
Moving between genders (gender fluid)
Third gender or other-gender
Those who do not or cannot place a name to their gender
Having an overlap of, or blurred lines between, gender identity and sexual orientation
Some genderqueer people use that as their only description of their gender identity, while others also identify as another gender identity such as androgyne, bigender etc. Genderqueer people may also identify as transgender and/or nonbinary. Some genderqueer people may wish to transition, either medically or by changing their name and/or pronouns to suit their preferred gender expression. Genderqueer people can have any sexual orientation.

Non-binary gender describes any gender identity which does not fit the male and female binary. Those with non-binary genders can feel that they:
Have an androgynous (both masculine and feminine) gender identity, such as androgyne.
Have an identity between male and female, such as intergender.
Have a neutral or unrecognized gender identity, such as agender
Have multiple gender identities, such as bigender or pangender.
Have a gender identity which varies over time, known as genderfluid.
Have a weak or partial connection to a gender identity, known as demigender.
Are intersex and identify as intersex, know as amalgagender
Have a culturally specific gender identity which exists only within their or their ancestor’s culture.
Non-binary people may also identify as transgender
________________________________________________
Agender is a term which can be literally translated as ‘without gender’. It can be seen either as a non-binary gender identity or as a statement of not having a gender identity. People who identify as agender may describe themselves as one or more of the following:
Genderless or lacking gender.
Gender neutral. This may be meant in the sense of being neither man or woman yet still having a gender.
Neutrois or neutrally gendered.
Having an unknown or undefinable gender; not aligning with any gender.
Having no other words that fit their gender identity.
Not knowing or not caring about gender, as an internal identity and/or as an external label.
Deciding not to label their gender.
Identifying more as a person than any gender at all.
Many agender people also identify as genderqueer, non-binary and/or transgender. However, some agender people prefer to avoid these terms, especially transgender, as they feel this implies identifying as a gender other than their assigned gender, while they in fact do not identify as any gender at all.
