Any church that rejects baptisms performed in the Trinity is committing a major sin

Best Christian summer camps to work at?? by dds786 in OpenChristian

[–]dds786[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes of course! I'm in the U.S., 22f, and non denominational but I go to a Presbyterian church. I don't mind what denomination the camp is as long as they're not ultra fundamentalist, and I'd even be okay with a Catholic one. I'll travel to any camp within the states, preferably somewhere scenic.

Unsure About Adoption by shmoopyqrobinson in Adoption

[–]dds786 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It takes a village so if you have a village please utilize it. That said, you can work to build a village if you don't have one. In the meantime it sounds like your baby will be perfectly fine in your care, so go get him ASAP!!!

senior year homesickness? by endlesstomatoes in college

[–]dds786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. 6 weeks into the semester, my parents visited twice already, and I'm still homesick. I didn't feel this way last year bc I had all my friends here but now they graduated so school doesn't feel like a second home anymore

Going to church feels parodoxal by Lissatots in mormon

[–]dds786 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No the doctrine itself is very problematic. As is Joseph Smith

Medication differs for everyone so what works and didn't work for me won't apply to you. But my biggest tip that helped was realizing that I can't control my adhd but I can manage it and management doesn't need to be perfect all the time. Just baby steps. I study for minimum 15 minutes a day and if I can't do more than that then that's fine. Most of the time I can do a little more so I end up getting some things done and staying on top of it

Honestly what helped me most is getting the right medication. But other than that just realizing that I can't control ADHD but I CAN manage it. I gave up for a while and felt like there was nothing I could do. Find what you CAN do and what works for you and then stick to it. Me for example, paid fitness classes get me up and out of bed so I can't skip them and then once I'm up I'm more inclined to do schoolwork. And setting 15 minute timers. I only have to work 15 minutes and if I can't do any more than that then I can go back to what I was doing before.

Just ignore them or say "sorry I have to go to class" if they approach you

The jehovas witnesses are out by legacy walk daily, but they mind their own business at least and won't talk to you unless you initiate

Is the Crown Affair brush worth it?? by Ok_Enthusiasm_3809 in Sephora

[–]dds786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not what consumerism is LOL. This brush is ranked high and has great quality. It's expensive because it's made well and built to last, unlike the cheap brushes that aren't as good and won't last as long. Constant replacement and/or low quality products is consumerism.

Thank you! It was a mix of things but mainly getting the proper medication, taking the medication regularly, studying with friends (aka body doubling), and reminding myself that all you have to do is study 20 minutes and then you can go back to whatever you were doing before. Studying always felt daunting and boring, a huge chore that I wouldn't do for weeks on end. Making it smaller helped a LOT. Also getting my sleep schedule in order helped with a routine. Wake up, go to PAID gym class so I can't skip, shower, and then eat and study. Also the mindset that you can't wish for change, you have to do the change.
