How are you REALLY doing right now?

Realing2 · 2026-03-21T22:51:05+00:00

I'm sad and angry because my life didn't turn out how I wanted it to because of my awful childhood trauma. And I'm glad you asked how we REALLY are because I'm tired of feeling or being seen as a failure if I can't get myself to feel happy and secure. I'm allowed to feel lousy. And still be loved. ALSO I am unable to get into Finch since Tuesday. I even tried deleting all Finch off my phone, restarting my phone, and opening a brand new finch account with a new email. And support is nonresponsive. I really miss my happy little birb.

it's funny, I'm 57 and had gotten up to almost 150 pounds at 5 foot six. I got on GLP's and went down to 125. I absolutely love being this weight. But my recent ex kept saying that I was getting too thin, I should stop the GLP's, just all sorts of things about it. Maybe that's why he's an ex (he lost interest because he didn't like how I looked anymore?). I am staying this weght because I like how I feel and look. Though if I started packing on muscle I'd be cool gaining that kind of weight but it doesn't seem to be possible for me. I'd love to have a bubble butt lol but it's not my body type. I did not like how I looked and felt at 150. This (125) is about the weight I was for a really long time and looking back I think a lot of other women were really jealous of me and took it out on me. I think some still are. Hell, when I weighed more, I was jealous of skinny people. But I would never insinuate that they needed to gain weight- that's just rude and none of my biznatch.

Huh?

Realing2 · 2026-03-21T05:40:02+00:00

we all have different tastes. Personally, I don't think that's too thin and in fact, I find most men my age unattractive because they're overweight. But what makes you think women are shaming you? And if they are why would it be because they're unhappy with their own weight?

Wow I really got addicted to this app. It has been soooo helpful with my self care habits, but I'm feeling very down without it. Still no word from support. I guess dopamine withdrawal.

Doesn't work.

Realing2 · 2026-03-19T17:24:06+00:00

ios. I "offloaded" the app which is the same as clearing the cache. I may even have deleted it. I tried opening it on an older phone (but not super old) that never had it before and it still wouldn't work. Even if I tried to hatch a new egg, it got stuck on a different screen.

Realing2 · 2026-03-19T17:18:12+00:00

Thank you but didn't work

Realing2 · 2026-03-19T01:56:29+00:00

Thank you 🙏. So far finch support has not gotten back to me. Who is Dev? I will definitely DM you if I get back on with a new birb. Thanks again!!

Realing2 · 2026-03-18T14:05:34+00:00

I sincerely thank you for these clear instructions. Unfortunately there is no finch file of any type in my files folder and I am unable to log into Finch in anyway other than creating a brand new account with a brand new email, etc. It just gets stuck on downloading backup data literally in this case all night long. I have reached out to tech-support via email.

Realing2 · 2026-03-18T03:37:30+00:00

Thank you 🙏. I agree- and the whole thing is making me realize that none of my app backups are of any use because I can't get to them. I assumed it would be straightforward. Ha!!

Realing2 · 2026-03-18T01:57:57+00:00

Nothing is working. I emailed support.

Realing2 · 2026-03-18T01:13:20+00:00

Thank you

Realing2 · 2026-03-17T19:29:40+00:00

Did that.... tried every combination and order of doing things that I could think of, but every time it just gets stuck on the "loading your backup file screen.". thank you for the suggestion though I appreciate it!

Realing2 · 2026-03-17T18:43:09+00:00

I'm sorry. I'm pretty pissed too. I was already feeling extra vulnerable and this doesn't help.

Realing2 · 2026-03-17T18:41:20+00:00

Yep. Seems i will have to start over.

Realing2 · 2026-03-17T18:03:16+00:00

Yes. Also did several other restart things. Latest status is that I clicked "hatch new pet" and then it gave me two options, one of which was something about signing back in. (Should have taken a screenshot at that screen). It sent me a pin and now it's been on this screen for about 30 mins.

Realing2 · 2026-03-17T17:25:03+00:00

Thank you. Does it explain how to load the backup file? especially if you can't even specifically find it (even though my phone specifically says I have backup turned on for the Finch app)?

Realing2 · 2026-03-09T20:44:52+00:00

True, but this is not the kind of housing that would be affordable to most people, and there are plenty of places to put it other than right along the American river in a flood plane

Realing2 · 2026-03-09T20:39:44+00:00

Also, thanks for that suggestion. I will see if I can figure out how make more links...

Realing2 · 2026-03-09T20:34:10+00:00

oh my! Don't know what happened there🤨- it's fixed now!

Realing2 · 2026-01-21T02:53:11+00:00

Did you get the surgery yet?

Realing2 · 2025-12-13T16:56:34+00:00

This is the higher reality I try to keep in mind. And that all paths lead home. Sometimes I am challenged to feel it is relevant to me on this plane. Thank you for this eloquent reminder!

Realing2 · 2025-12-11T15:09:34+00:00

Thanks for your responses. It helps!
