Penny,
I am much like you. It is really difficult for me to get things done, even if it means that in the end I get money back.
Sometimes, I think it is because it is too complicated, sometimes because I just can't remember what I need to do without some sort of reminder, and sometimes because I am completely disorganized. I once did a job for General Electric. They had complicated paperwork, and consequently, I didn't get paid. I saw a number of therapists that wouldn't submit paperwork for me. I paid them, and never got reimbursed. I am glad that my current therapist does submit for me, otherwise I likely wouldn't be receiving services.
Unfortunately, this does spill over into other areas of my life. I often do things at the last minute. I forgot to submit a form regarding a previous mortgage, and I lost out on a $200.00 disbursement. I'm working on getting better at these things, but it is still incredibly difficult. Incredibly difficult though, doesn't mean impossible. I'm working on it, and it is getting a little better.
If I can start getting better at this, I'm sure that you can too.
Dee.
