This is 100 percent me. If there is a problem and I know I can't control the outcome then I ignore the problem until it goes away or gets too big to ignore.
I have to have surgery at the end of June and I've known about it since Feburary but I keep coming up with reasons not to actually schedule the surgery because I can't control what the outcome will be and I'm convinced I can find a way to not need the surgery. Which is unpossible. My goal for myself last week was to schedule the surgery. I know this problem won't go away on its own or might get worse if I don't deal with it but surgery is too big of a unknown. Too many ways for everything to go wrong. It's just so much easier to ignore the problem when I can't control it.
