Instead be proud that you can recognize when something is not a good idea and would be detrimental to improving your mental health. Although it's not always possible putting your mental health above all else is extremely helpful in getting better. If you do your reading another night when you can focus you will find it goes faster, you retain the material and you don't get frustrated.
Hope this helps. I know how you feel with both the reading and the FB thing. Hugs!

I'll do that, thank you! Here's to hoping I can still enjoy the remainder of what was supposed to be an easy night.  I hope your night goes well!
