Although awkward, this is not a big ask if you've asked her respectfully and she fully understands the reasoning. I think she should get on board, at least in public settings and keep your 'original' name for her in intimate settings.

You're your real you with her...

A shitty situation for sure, and you were probably way too young to deal with it properly. Keep getting help mate.

It seems also that this situation was exacerbated by some underlying mental health issues you didn't know that you had. Stay on track and make sure to deal with it as you clearly have the tendencies of destruction.

Best of luck!
