This may sound stupid but I need help
So in my head I came up with a love story ever since I was little I would play it out in my head or whatever or even pretend I’m the main female character but never put it on paper it was just something that I did growing up that just calmed me down I guess I don’t know but as I got older I would pretend I was the main character and the guy that the main character was with was the love interest and well yeah I’m sure you get the idea. We before I met my best friend or even knew who she was or her son, the male main character has the same name as my best friends son and I feel so horrible about it even though I had no idea at the time I didn’t even know anyone personally with that name so when I found out he had the same name I changed the name and moved forward but because the character in the story in my head had the same name and I would pretend to be the female main character and things escalated between characters if you know what I mean kind of like a fantasy sort of thing during me time and when I found out her son had the same name my ocd is twisting it trying to make it seem like it was something else and it never was and now I cringe and wish the male characters name wasn’t the same because it triggers my pocd so badly and I am trying to hard to do exposers especially when her son is around because he’s almost 3 and I’m trying to not be so afraid anymore but it’s hard when I can’t have one second of peace when OCD is trying to feed me lies that I know deep down aren’t true. I do know that sometimes mothers name their kids after the father so I’m sure that’s something other people deal with being uncomfortable wise but ocd takes it to a whole other level of uncomfortable and makes 10x more scary but that’s the best way I can explain it. Im just really worried if I should be concerned even though I had no idea at the time and changed it I just keep remembering using the main male character and his name during ya know time and now I feel so horrible about it like I said I had no idea at the time I would end up with a best friend who’s son has the same name. OCD sucks
