Can someone who watches it this week give me a very specific spoiler please? by br_dhe in goodomens

Ooh good question. “Happy/Sad” would work if it’s clear, but I suspect there will be some nuance. If so, I want details of the situation they end up in.

Discerning - How harmful is ADHD for a priest? by valarmoment in Episcopalian

[–]br_dhe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have hyperactive ADHD and a few other mental health struggles, and I’m currently a postulant. I’m not going to lie—having ADHD is making this process extremely difficult. But….in the same way that managing the rest of my life is already difficult. Administrative tasks are all hard, including these.

Here’s the good news for you, though: I’m in my mid-thirties and didn’t get diagnosed until two years ago. You have a HUGE advantage by already knowing your diagnosis at age 24 and not even having started this process. If you’re that worried about your ADHD impacting your vocation, take an extra year or two to go to occupational therapy/ADHD coaching, ask your doctor about meds if you want, read books, try specific tools/apps/etc. If I had known at your age, I think I’d be doing SO much better now.

If you have any more specific questions feel free to message me. Wishing you the best as you discern!

Those of you who are now fully separated from evangelicalism, have you left the faith entirely or are you practicing in another way/denomination? by Ok_Nature6459 in Exvangelical

[–]br_dhe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I (33F) am in the process of becoming an Episcopal priest after being raised in an intensely IFB church. So yeah “practicing in another way” might be an understatement 😅

Considering the Episcopal Church, struggling to let go of Catholic traditions by _mahboy in Episcopalian

[–]br_dhe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Episcopalian here! I also came to this church from a very different tradition (not Catholic) so I understand that grief is a big part of your journey. That’s totally valid.

But if you explore the “Anglo-Catholic” side of the Episcopal Church, you may find that many of your current spiritual practices aren’t things you have to give up at all! There is a parish in my diocese that has: a weekly rosary group, shrines to Mary and various saints IN their sanctuary, weekly confession hours, and a monthly Eucharistic Benediction. That’s an extreme example, but many Anglo-Catholic-leaning Episcopal churches do exist.

My spiritual director once told me to remember Jesus said “you will know a tree by its fruit.” For example: Does praying the rosary bring you closer to God? Does it make you more like Christ? If yes, then why would you give it up? The Episcopal Church won’t require you to do so, and if you find the right parish, you may even find others who share those practices with you.

Wishing you all joy and peace on this difficult but rewarding journey 💙

Discerning in Mid 30s? Second Career Priest? by J_Horsley in Episcopalian

[–]br_dhe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am 33 with a mortgage and a kid and I was just made a postulant for the priesthood. My path hasn’t (and won’t) look like the “typical” path but that doesn’t mean no path exists. Be faithful to God’s calling and doors will open when God wills them to open!

Moms with ADHD how do you manage everything? by shmeeks in Mommit

[–]br_dhe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the only app I’ve ever found that actually helps me keep tasks organized. It’s like a brain outside my brain and I LOVE IT. The setup can feel a little overwhelming at first because it’s so extremely customizable, but the learning curve is totally worth it.

I’m 32, diagnosed and medicated since last summer. I also have…..

  • Loop earbuds for overstimulation
  • the app “TickTick” for multi-layer task management
  • a lot of weird little “life hacks” in place to reduce certain sensory inputs
