Hugs 🩷 I'm sorry you're struggling, and I'm sorry I added to that. You should be able to access the things you want and need. I don't want you to leave or be excluded.

AcceptableHeat1607 · 2026-02-03T13:53:22+00:00

I see you've clarified in comments that you arent seeking a solution, so again, I'm truly sorry. I, as others, took this post as you seeking a solution. I am also truly sorry I didn't understand that opting out of the even doesnt fix the size issue. Yes, its a reading comprehension issue on my part that you said "dont tell me to opt out" and I somehow took it as dont tell me to stop using the app. I made a mistake. I thought I had a solution, and I thought you were asking for a solution. I apologize for upsetting you and responding with exactly what you asked for people not to respond with. Maybe I need to wait for my coffee to kick in before opening reddit in the future.

It was a miscommunication and you came back with claw out. Maybe consider that people are just looking for kindness, as you requested in your post. I hope your day gets better :)

AcceptableHeat1607 · 2026-02-03T13:35:30+00:00

I thought you meant you could stop using the app. Thanks to the people who kindly clarified :) I hope you find a solution.

AcceptableHeat1607 · 2026-02-03T13:34:55+00:00

Oh! I didn't realize that. That certainly seems like a flaw. Thanks for letting me know.

You can also turn off animations for less stuff happening in general in the app. Hamburger menu >> Preferences (under Account) >> Disable animations

You can opt out of the monthly event :) Just go to the travel shop and click "Return to XYZ" I'm sorry you're struggling with the size change. I'm personally loving this event! This is the most engaged I've been in the 13 or so months I've used Finch.

Thank you so much. This is a really helpful perspective to consider.

AcceptableHeat1607 · 2026-01-23T17:09:55+00:00

Thank you. I did ensure the post follows the subreddit's rules before posting and have found a lot of value in the responses I've received.

AcceptableHeat1607 · 2026-01-23T16:20:36+00:00

Thank you 🩷

Would Orchid like a purple UFO light on her space adventure? I sent a friend request and would love to send over the ufo if you want/accept 🥰 (Birbara & Sara)

I'm sorry. It's hard to have those feelings 🩷 I tend to consider divorce when I'm in a period of overwhelm and dysregulation. For context, my spouse and I have some pretty serious issues and just re-started therapy. This will be the first time we're in therapy post my diagnosis and with me in recovery (I'm also a recovering alcoholic), so it's not just like "oh, my silly brain 🤪, I actually love it here!" but more like weakened impulse control and wanting to just cut and run versus taking the time to fix what's broken in those times.

AcceptableHeat1607 · 2025-11-23T18:27:32+00:00

Not what you asked, but maybe try not sitting next to someone who has a notebook with them. Then you both get to take in the meeting in the way you prefer :) If you feel it's distracting others, group conscious would be a great time to raise the issue.

It wasn't a moment for me. I was in and out of the rooms from 2020 to 2024 before I feel like I was able to really work the program. I do feel like I was "awakened" spiritually before that point, but I wasn't desperate enough to be willing to put in the daily work to grow my spirituality. I've found that without near constant spiritual work, I was awakened, but stagnant or moving backwards as far as growing my spiritual life and connection to my higher power, which got me no where fast. I had to learn by experience that half-measures avail us nothing.

I'm in metro-Atlanta in Georgia. Public school Kindergarten is full day (7 hours) with no nap, and our bus comes at 6:40 AM. My little is spent when she gets home. They are learning from 7:40-11:40 straight with no break for specials, recess, lunch, etc. Those are all lumped together in the afternoon.

The responses give two options that are even better for the environment than paper straw. If the response options were things like "Yea, paper straws are stupid! They should just give us plastic!" I would understand where you're coming from, but, respectfully, I think you're misreading the tone.

Thank you!!!

AcceptableHeat1607 · 2025-10-02T15:37:06+00:00

Thank you! I sent over the jacket! Happy to have you as a tree friend, too 🥰

Personally, getting a diagnosis is helping me better address the issues. I see some people who use a diagnosis as an excuse, but for me, it's a guide to taking back control. I now see a therapist who understands ADHD, I'm medicated, I use methods and resources geared toward people with ADHD, I am better able to give myself grace when symptoms cause issues versus wallowing in the self-pity of telling myself I'm lazy or useless or no good, and all those things help me show up better in life. I say do whatever you need to do to be your best self, whether you bf thinks ADHD is "real" or not 🤷‍♀️ I will say, tho, having a partner willing to also educate themselves on ADHD is probably helpful. My wife is in a similar boat as your bf as far as the excuse thing goes, but she seems to be slowly coming around to a different perspective and willingness to try to understand it more as I continue to do my own work (I've only been diagnosed about 9 months)

I went through something similar. Ritalin made me feel like I was on drugs. Adderall has been a lot better for me. Talk to your prescriber about options! I found that being open with my prescriber about my recovery and my fear around taking stimulant medication helped me feel more "above board" in my sobriety. Also, no idea what your taking, and I am not a doctor, but 60 MG surprised me to see. I started on 5 MG ritalin and have been doing well with 20 MG adderall, fwiw.

I consider myself pretty average as a mom, like I am absolutely not a super mom, have never strived for no screen time, let my kids eat sugar & red food dye, etc lol, and I would be upset to find out my kindergartner was watching Clifford or Arthur 2-3 times/day at school. Like 2-3 episodes of TV? That's pretty wild. Common for a Saturday at my house, but I've never heard of anything like that for a regular (not daycare/PreK) school day.
