I think it's an attention issue.
Anyway, many times I'll be reading, and I have to reread the same sentence because it didn't sink in. Then again. Sometimes again. It seems to happen the most if I'm reading something of any length (more than a page or so). It's incredibly frustrating, as you can imagine. I've tried reading faster, because maybe I'm just overthinking what I'm reading, but I find that I honestly do not know what I just read and that I have to go back. Sometimes I get stuck on part of a sentence, and keep repeating it in my head till it gets through.
Unsurprisingly, reading becomes very taxing, and something I love ends up becoming painful. It's like I have to really strain my brain to understand anything. Anyone else have a similar problem? Any suggestions? I've mentioned it to my psychiatrist, among others, and basically they say it's a symptom of depression. Fat lot of help that is. Mood-wise, I've been stable, but I still have memory and attention issues. Is there anything I can do?
