[QUOTE="ALD, post: 128303, member: 27549"] I am a person with anxiety issues. So, I always panic and I am impatient with a lot of things. I always assume the worst. It's a flaw I know. I try to work on it. Since getting my GBB she has taught me- to just chill out. It's all good. I have to keep reminding myself. Latest example- I went to feed her a cricket and I'm not sure if I startled her or if she is in premolt, but she ran to the other side of the enclosure. The cricket got ensnared in webbing under her hide. My first instinct was to freak out. I must have to get it out. But then I remembered. Chill out. She'll calm down and make her way back to her hide and find the cricket. She'll kill it if it bothers her. I worry because I don't want a live cricket in there if she molts- nor do I want it to expire under the hide and I have to get it. Then I remember- chill out. She is not THAT fragile. Let it play out. So, that's what I'm doing. Little things like that. That is how she is teaching me patience. It helps me in a way. Can anyone else relate? [/QUOTE]
