Opening them feels daunting the minute they come, and the longer I put them off due to that, the more guilt gets added to the mix too, so they just go unadressed.

Has anyone found a strategy that works for this?

guilt is a core part of the game loop that is my ADHD life

    Oh, I usually end up doijg the comolete opposite -- wait for weeks until the other side firgets they sent the kessage and accepts they won't be getting an answer, and only then read it and pretend I only just noticed it then. By that point all their potential anger over me not having replied will have passed, so there is less guilt for me to have to overcome.
