Finch: Self-Care Pet 4+

Wonderful!

I have ADHD, OCD, and an anxiety disorder. So you could say that some days keeping myself taken care of can be difficult. This app has not only helped me with my daily tasks like taking medication or making my bed, but also extra goals and tasks I set for myself! Finch also has a great community and subreddit for you to go to if you’d like. When I first downloaded finch I wasn’t sure how it could help me, but knew it was an app worth trying after looking around and seeing that they have so many options to customize your bird to reflect who you are! Pride flags, mobility aids, and the ability to change the pronouns of the bird at anytime (so if you use them as a self reflection and are processing your own gender or lack there of, you can change it again and again)
Finch is obviously very inclusive and its community is the same. I truly enjoy using the app and taking advantage of its meditation sounds, nature sounds, anxiety manga techniques and promos on reflection. Finch is absolutely worth giving a try if you find you are interested but unsure. They have free access which still gives you great things, and you can always decide to pay for it if you want even more options. I personally didn’t find I was missing that much when utilizing the free program! Having plus does give you more options that I take advantage too, and I think it’s a good price also.

TLDR: I can keep my life and self care straight thanks to this app. Their community is great too.

Finally something worked.

For years now, I’ve been struggling with a plethora of mental health issues on top of adhd, and it’s made it extremely difficult for me to take care of myself even with professional help. I’ve learned to take care of my emotions, but the motivation to do things has never been there for me especially with my adhd. Doing things like going and getting a cup of water, washing my face, getting clothes off the floor or bringing bowls and plates down from my room has always been something that’s felt genuinely impossible. On top of all of that even, I’ve never had any motivation to stretch or work out. I’ve downloaded so many of these apps and they’ve all just been gimmicky and overpriced, and I’ve found they only made me feel worse because the reminders felt pointless and made me feel like I didn’t care about myself. With Finch, i not only feel reinforced that I care about myself, I also feel cared for by my finch, and I feel that by taking care of myself, im also taking care of him. In the past few days, I’ve done so much more with this app then I ever thought. Im really happy that I finally have some motivational help that actually works. I absolutely love finch and I actually couldn’t recommend it more. Also, I’d like to mention that I haven’t reviewed an app for like four years now because there’s never been an app that I cared for like this. I’m really happy to use this app and I want you to try it if you’re reading this.
