Comic geek, I'm so happy to see you around here again! And doubly happy to hear you're doing so well! I missed you for sure. Glad to see school is going so well for you.

As for the reading I have that sometimes, usually linked to a mood episode but not always. I agree with the previous posters. Maybe set up some clear study times. Read a paragraph, take a break, then read another, etcetera.

I was an English major so I had to hack my way through some pretty dry text sometimes (Alexander pope anyone? Anyone?). The way I did it was I would read a stanza of poetry and then rewrite it in my own words. Summarize it in a sentence or two. It was super time consuming but sometimes there was just no other way. Sometimes I had pages and pages in my notebook of poetry or journal article interpretations. And then when exam time came I already had notes to study from.

Glad to hear you're doing well!
