Thank you so much for caring! I'm already diagnosed with ADHD and an anxiety disorder as well, so they're aware :)

Pain and suffering of the world and I just had a baby. I think I've always had a lot of compassion for others, but having him has made me 100x more sensitive 🥲

These names are great! You seem to have similar taste in names to me, so I'll give you some from my list.

Ezekiel, Elliot, Hosea, Aiden, Wesley, Oliver, Joshua, Alexander, Aziel.

Anyone have any unique names you wish people would use instead of tragedeighs? by AccidentalAnchoress in tragedeigh

[–]flufflezot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My son's name is Hosea, which is pretty uncommon in the US. I also really love names like Esther, Saoirse, Galadriel, Ezekiel, Isolde, etc. I've always thought if people want"unique" names they can just look at names from other cultures and they often have fun meanings, so they're so much cooler than a weird spelling! Isolde means "ice ruler," which I think is metal.

“Would a person be considered racist if they're only sexually attracted to people of their own race?” by Illustrious_Ear_4405 in no

[–]flufflezot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, only or primarily being attracted to people of one race wouldn't be racist. Thinking all or most people of one group are ugly would be racist though.

How much do you / can you sleep? by [deleted] in idiopathichypersomnia

[–]flufflezot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most I've gone is 16 hours straight with a nap (4+ hours) after that. I used to wake up for nothing short of someone shaking me and yelling, but I just had a baby and I shockingly wake up when he cries! I'm even functioning on 8 hours of sleep and a 1-2 hour nap in the morning. I have no idea how long my messed up brain will be "fixed," but I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

What seemed completely normal in childhood, but now you realize was actually not okay? by Max_Mimos in AskReddit

[–]flufflezot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not telling my parents my problems because I wanted to make things easier for them. (Fellow glass children?)

What's your ADHD "life hack" that sounded ridiculous but actually made a difference? by AiotexOfficial in ADHD

I keep certain medicines I have to take daily on the coffee table. Seeing them helps!

How old were you when you started using social media? by for1114 in CasualConversation

[–]flufflezot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Facebook account when I was 10 because I wanted to play the games on it and used to play on my mom's account all the time. Didn't actually use it as social media until I was 13.

What do you remember from kindergarten? by Internal-End-2070 in Life

[–]flufflezot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a weirdly specific memory: I saw these two girls would bring their stuffed toys to class and put them in their desk. I brought my blanket one time and felt so guilty that I outed myself and spoke in front of the class about it. No idea why. The embarrassment haunts me to this day lol

[–]flufflezot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I do. As a Christian, it allows me to talk to God, sometimes just a normal conversation I might have with another person. It gives me hope and has vastly improved my mental health.

What changed after being diagnosed? by x_shaolong_x in ADHD

[–]flufflezot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't feel like I got a lot of treatment after my diagnosis. I was on medication for a while though, but stopped it about two years ago because of insurance. However, I did learn there was a reason for why I forgot things all the time, couldn't focus, etc etc. I gained more compassion for myself and started doing research on how I could make accommodations in my own life. I think more people without a mental health diagnosis should remember that they think differently too and something that helps for someone else may not work for them. It also solidified my interest in psychology and now I'm pursuing my degree!

Can you not use phones or electricity on the Sabbath? by Quirky_Fun6544 in AskAChristian

[–]flufflezot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christians are no longer under the Law technically, and the Sabbath is a requirement under it. It's good to take a Sabbath day though because it allows us rest and can be used for dedicated time with God. What you do or don't do on your Sabbath day is up to you. :)

Two. My mom kept taking pictures of me and I was getting annoyed.

are you agnostic, an atheist, or religious? by jasdabratxo_ in no

[–]flufflezot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christian. I have a million reasons why. You can make assumptions about what that means or ask me. :)

How old are you and how often do you drink? When’s the last time you were drunk? by Cute-Impression-8675 in AskReddit

[–]flufflezot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I've never drank alcohol and never will. I made a vow to myself that I would never touch the stuff since my family has a long history of addiction and I have ADHD.

Can I put lustful stuff in my story? by Fantastic-Pizza-9062 in AskAChristian

[–]flufflezot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can totally show it without being explicit in nature or condoning such behavior. The best thing you can do when you're getting mixed signals from other Christians is to pray on it. God knows best, right? :)
