I get overwhelmed, give up opening my mail, and wind up months and months behind on medical bills. it's embarassing. I don't have any problem affording them, I'm just fucking up my credit because I can't deal with being a mature adult apparently. I guess that's why I'm being medicated for anxiety and ADHD, and at least I'm up to date on paying _those_ I think

If it helps I have similar bad habits with most of my bills. It’s not just you!

it does kinda help, honestly. It's not some unique failing, just... one I have to deal with.

@kistaro @anthracite And this right here is why I automate as much of it as I can. I often end up with a spoon deficit from too many items to cover, both financially and otherwise (and affording them is not a problem for me either, executive function or lack thereof is).

I'd see if you can find ways to do that, to automatically handle them so you don't suffer from overload.

My insurance company goes back and forth so many times with two of the providers I have no real alternative to that I've learned _not_ to pay them until they threaten to send me to collections, because any bills before they're 90 days overdue are estimates at best.

I autopay my mortgage, power, Internet, utilities, and HOA, but I have to just pay medical bills.
