"Maybe it was a mistake, maybe its not. I choose to live in the present" plus let the child decide later on if they want a nickname or whatever it me, but accept uncertainty Also OCD does feel like everything will be alright if this one thing is done, but it rarely works like that. OCD is kinda a whackamole game until the uncertainty and imperfection is accepted and compulsions are limited

It’s just OCD. Just keep saying that. Keep saying your babies beautiful name. Try hard to enjoy that beautiful baby! 🙏

@Overcomer123 I stuck to the name I had chose and literally didn’t tell a soul until I took my baby home from the hospital because I knew hearing anyone else’s comments would only make it harder. He’s 2 now and I still have days where I cry over his name because my ocd tells me I made a mistake and gave him a horrible name at one point I though about having it legally changed and what if he gets made fun of but I know it’s just the ocd talking. In the grand scheme of things I know a name is not a big enough deal to make a difference in his life. He’s amazing and he’s gonna do great things. Now that I see his little personality growing I couldn’t imagine him being named anything different ❤️ your child isn’t really concerned about surface things like a name. They just want to be loved and treated good. Hang in there and keep your head up. Things are gonna get better I promise, I’ve been where you’re at.

@trapped At times i feel like Im doing better to and then it just comes back all over again. I cannot stop wondering if it’s my ocd or if i truly don’t like the name.
