If so, did it start after the onset of your BP symptoms, or after starting to take meds? Do you think it might be because of anxiety?

For the last several years I've had increasing difficulty focusing on reading which I used to LOVE, especially literary fiction. At this point, forget fiction, I sometimes have trouble following long posts and then feel bad that I'm not responding as much as I'd like. As you can imagine this affects my work as well as other things.

So anyone else have trouble with this --and if so, do you know why? What helps?

Thanks so much!
I have been struggling alot with keeping focused on just about any task at hand. I keep jumping from one task to another without really even completing the previous tasks fully. Thanks alot BP
