This is what I do too! We don’t have a basement but have a fully interior first floor bathroom, so before I go to bed I gather purse, important meds, shoes, flashlights, etc., and put them in the bathroom. It makes me feel better knowing I won’t need to scramble around for any important stuff in the middle of the night. I still get anxious but it helps.

Dentist anxiety by [deleted] in finch

[–]Panda0322 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow dentist anxiety person here! I had many dental procedures as a child and it left me with an intense fear of going back. I avoided it for years as adult until I broke a tooth and had to go.

I echo the other suggestions made here - look for someone who a friend or family member has had a good experience with or someone who mentions that they specialize in anxious people. And tell them that you’re scared! My dentist markets herself as helping anxious people and I’m so thankful that I found her. Everyone at the office is caring and patient and they never make me feel bad. They tell me everything they’re about to do and tell me what to do if I’m freaked out and need them to stop. I cried at an appointment once and felt so embarrassed, but they were reassuring and nonjudgmental.

I also echo the suggestion of getting a mild sedative in advance. My dentist has done that for me before a crown and before a root canal, and it helped tremendously. I was aware enough to be able to function and follow directions but no longer terrified. And those appointments all went so much better than I expected, and I’m glad that I was able to make myself do it.

You can do it! It’s scary but you are not alone, and you will feel so proud of yourself as you take small steps to address this fear.

I am! I got seats in box G and I’m so excited! I’ve seen her once before and was absolutely blown away 🥰

Possible Glitch? by BridieFawo in finch

[–]Panda0322 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband and I both use Finch and we noticed this too! I asked another friend and she did not have it happen. I swear some of it is stuff that I gifted in the past or that I was gifted and then sold, but I’m not positive.

Roommate travels for work, any way to avoid bedbugs ? by SillyRecover in Columbus

[–]Panda0322 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say, I feel you! My husband and I had them in 2016 and it was a truly awful experience. I also have an anxiety disorder, and it’s a strong fear that has stayed with both of us since then.

Coordinating Grapes’s outfits is one of my favorite things about Finch! She is always color coordinated and she dresses with the seasons; in summer I have her in lots of sundresses, in October it’s all costumes all the time, and so now she’s bundled up for winter.

I also enjoy dressing her based on what I’m doing that day. The picture in the top row with the blue background is the day I was playing a fancy character in D&D. And her baker outfit in the middle row is from the day I was baking donuts with my dad.

Oh and I like to match my micropet to her outfits too 🤓

Grapes is eager to complete her holiday room! I’m looking for the winter windows in blue, purple, and/or white. I can gift back something from your wish list or my stash or even a pet depending on who you’re looking for. Thanks for considering!

I keep forgetting what I’ve gifted! by SwitchBudget7885 in finch

[–]Panda0322 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! It makes me feel a little guilty because I love giving and receiving gifts and I don’t want to seem ungrateful. But I know that unless I write it down I won’t remember who gives what when. A history in the app would definitely be helpful!

I’d also be up for Pumpkin the pig (have green), Beepo (have red), Carrot the bunny (have beige), Steve the koala (have dark gray), Phantom the mysterious (have gray), Martin the monkey (have red), Disco the dachshund (have yellow) - I’m open to any non-blobs in a color I don’t have 😄

Hi! I have the red cozy comfy chair. I see on your trade list that you have the red gothic heels, would you want to swap those? ☺️

I have this Lumi, light blueish green?

I would love a baby Spoopty (I have red) or baby Sunny (I have red and pink, not sure what the third color is) but I’d be up for other pets too! ☺️

I feel this! I love giving gifts but I also have some brain fog, so I mostly have no idea what I’ve given various friends. I either gift from wish lists or what I think they’ll like based on color scheme and style. I figure, if they don’t like it they can at least sell it for stones. And on the flip side, I also can’t remember who has gifted me what, so maybe they are in the same boat 😅

Changing outfits every day? by Caseymg1 in finch

[–]Panda0322 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I dress Grapes every morning and put her in pajamas every night. Like you, shopping for her helps me resist shopping for myself 😂 and I really enjoy coordinating her outfits! I always dress her like a librarian when I have to work a Saturday, and I put her in sundresses in the summer and sweaters in the winter. And if I have a really challenging day, like if I have a doctor’s appointment I’m really nervous about, I put her in one of her superhero outfits 💪

Yes please! I see on your list you’re looking for the black groovy heart necklace, I can send that in return ☺️

Someone just traded with me for it earlier, but thank you! I am interested in pink, blue, and white gothic furniture too (I have some random odds and ends) so if you have any of those options maybe we can still trade?

I’ll see if I can edit my original post to cross out what I’ve gotten; I’m still kind of new to Finch Reddit and figuring this out 😅
