I just looked my name up and I am so angry. It said birth of Jesus or something like that and it made me angry because I refuse to die for everyone's sins. Why should everybody else get to enjoy life while I have to sacrifice myself for someone else? Then when you reverse my name it has Satan in it. How ironic. Then my middle name says something about me being restless and that I attract money. I do not love money and I know it is the root of evil. I really am upset that I was given these names. It's like I was destined to be a sacrifice! I had dreams long before I knew the meaning of these names of me dying on my birthday and Jesus died for us but I refuse to die for people. I really am starting to feel like I was born to be tortured. Why create me? Why createe to put me through this? I can't stop thinking about God. I am obsessed. It's not fair. Why do I have to be this way? I do not want to be like this but it seems as if some force wants me to be everything I don't want to be. If I want to love God it will make me feel as if God wants to oppress me. If I want to learn it will make me regret learning because I will just find out information that is going to make me feel worse. If I want to be a good person it will make me regret it by punishing me for doing good. It's like it wants me to believe I was created to be sacrificed and to be evil, a burnt offering.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Names do carry meanings. If you hate your name change it.
Call some prayer lines like tbn and daystar.
Immerse yourself in the WORD.
Read Psalms 18 atleast 4 times a day out loud it will strengthen you.
Listen to christian/gospel music when you go to sleep.
Say you will have a sound mind. ( 2 Timothy 1:7 )
It will also be good to get some church counseling.

What's the difference if Rumpelstiltskin is your name. And for the record, Money is NOT the root of all evil... Money is just happiness and security. If you don't want to sacrifice yourself for someone or something else then DON'T!

If you can't change it, maybe you can "reframe" your perspective to it.
Perhaps it really just means "born of Christmas day," or "reborn" and is not at all meant to be a call for you to die for someone else's sins.
At the same time, if we have put our faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for us, we are indeed called to live sacrificial lives - that doesn't mean killing ourselves, or dying for someone else's sins (we can't because we die on account of our own), but we should live for others, unselfishly.
And incidentally, you will find that living (really living) for others is most likely to fill your life with joy, and peace, and a sense of accomplishment. And most likely it will bring you a lot of rewarding responses. You are not an island, you exist as a person among people, a person with relationships. If you live entirely for yourself, you'll soon find you've lost or soured most of your relationships.... and that's not so cool.
But if you'd like to change your name, what would you want your new one to be?

Just because your name means "birth of Jesus" does not mean you are meant to be a sacrifice. I think it's a beautiful meaning. The birth of Jesus was a beautiful event, and it's wonderful to have your name reflect that. The meaning of your name is not that significant, and it doesn't affect who you are or what you do with your life. Please find a Christian counselor to help you work through some of these hang-ups in your mind and to bring you back into a peaceful and healthy relationship with God.

I am sorry, but Jesus already gave his life for you and everyone else here. He lived a perfect life so that we don’t have to. That is part of the good news my friend all your sins are nailed to the cross and as long as you proclaim his name and believe in him you are covered in the blood of Jesus. I know OCD twists a lot of things, but you cannot accomplish the task Jesus did nor is he asking you to. Enjoy the life and grace God has given you and be in peace.
