Here is a truism: Avoiding the letter, doesn’t make it better!
I’m referring to the bills that may be unopened in a drawer or in a pile on your table. It can be so scary to face reality financially. I highly recommend it though- it really is better to know what you’re up against than to imagine what you’re up against.
I have lost a lot and I mean a lot of money by not taking care of bills or other financial business before it’s too late. I am getting better at this. I look at my account online. Sometimes I cringe- but I want to be aware of my financial situation so that I can stay stable. Also, I want to be able to think rationally when I wake up too early and start to worry! When my bipolar gets bad and I feel overwhelmed, I can miss deadlines- and this costs money so there are more financial worries. Will this illness ever get easier!!!!!
