I agree. And I refuse to jump on to some medication simply because I can't pay attention to a novel. I went through twenty one years of education (including my undergrad and post-grad work) with no concerns - even as I dealt with the death of my father and countless other issues that really shouldn't have been mine to contend with in the first place.

I suppose I'm just looking for verification that this isn't the end of the line for me; that this effect is temporary. It seems to be a "depends on" case, which I will hope is the same for me. I miss reading...I used to devour books. Now it seems like I can't even get past the first few pages...
