I dislike that I am shockingly scared of the mail.

Scared is not the right word, but I have a difficult time claiming that I am intimidated by bits of paper, so... there you go.

So I get it in from the box, and it sits on the counter... and sits... and becomes a pile... and sits... and it's not the touching of it, it is clearly the opening of it.

And I do not know why, or exactly when this happened, but it can be months easily, before I finally get to the point of being disappointed and angry at myself that I finally do something about it... and I can still only get about half way through it, at best, before I can't handle it anymore.

And I have no real idea why I'm like this.

@JulieSqveakaroo I have a similar thing and I don't know how to characterize it. It's sort of a desire to not deal with this now, until it becomes a heap too big to deal with.

Fortunately it's mostly pre-approved credit cards rather than anything I have to answer but still, considering it would be under a minute to deal with any given day I don't know why I let it become a problem.

Anyway all I know is you're not alone and maybe if mail were more good it wouldn't be an issue.
