So. I don't really have much of an excuse for this. I'm just flat fucking stupid and asking for help. I can pay you back as well, just... god I'm stupid.
For some backstory: I've not been super active the past month and a half because we (myself and my bestie, we shall call her J) were buying a house. Well, she is. Turns out that this process is a fucking nightmare and neither one of us have had much in the run of energy to do anything else. Between moving costs/furniture at the new place (as where I'm living came furnished) as well as a stupid amount of ADHD... I just straight up lost track of bills.
My ISP contacted me today very angry saying "Hey. Pay your fucking bill" and suspended the account. The internet is still active, I don't know for how long, and I'm doing what I can to work on that but... I mean... I work online. So having the internet shut down is going to be a nightmare for that. I can still send it via my phone but not exactly a fun tunnel to be using.
My ask is simple but shameful. Could I please get some help for the damn bill? It’s $300 Canadian, apparently $213 USD (my god), but yeah. I don’t know. I’m sorry for even asking this and I feel like a MORON. Also asking where I can but… yeah. I’m sorry. As for “Why the hell is it $300?” Well, my internet bill is about $140. There’s a late fee. I forgot to pay last month too because, well, this. I was focused more on power bill. Ever since my shit roommate previously left, I’ve had a bit still worked up on one bill or the other usually. Due to that, I focused too hard on power bill and ADHD forgot internet bill existed.
If you can help at all and don't hate me on sight, please consider throwing a buck or two to my Ko-fi. Thanks for reading either way and again... I'm sorry
Edit: And sorted... thank you to everyone... I wish I had more to say or do other than just endless thank yous. But thank you

Fuck, dude. I know how that is I’ve had issues remembering bills and try not to add monthly ones unless I remove others. I hope you’re able to find some proper support, if contribute if I could but my medical bills are fucking me over pretty bad as well.

ADHD + anxiety. I have been rescued more than once because brain short circuited.

I'm between jobs, or I'd toss in some assistance. It happens, I've forgotten my own bills so many times because I refuse to allow automated billing on anything I have a choice over. I have reminders on my phone for several days leading up to bill deadlines on two of them because even though they aren't large, they're important and easy to forget.
I've had to remind my spouse about their bills before, between the two of us having adhd I'm surprised things get paid sometimes...
I wish you luck with the move and I hope things get worked out!
I'll tell you what I tell my spouse: you've apologized once, you can stop apologizing in between sentences, anyone who understands has already forgiven any perceived transgression, and everyone else won't be satisfied with 10,000 apologies so can be disregarded. You're allowed to mess something up every now and again. I'm just sorry this time for you it's a big thing :(

Thank you <3
I know I'm definitely not the only person to forget, I just feel like a fool. Like I'm a grown ass man. And I know I'm bullying myself a bit but still.
As for the apologies... between Canadian and abuse victim it's hard to pull that back. I'm trying. I get into a recursive loop with a friend telling me to not say sorry and then I apologize for apologizing and... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
