Ok I said only symptom but I am also having trouble putting my words into sentences slight memory issues and I'm having trouble with spelling and I have night terrors/sleep issues but I don't think they are related.

I am/was a very avid reader. I used to read 4 or 5 books a month. This year I just can not concentrate. I have read several small books but not many. It also takes me between a couple and a few weeks to read a book. I have read only one book since the end of July. When I do read it takes me about an hour to read 5 to 10 pages even if it is fluff fiction. I sometimes just stop and stare at the pages. Or my mind wanders. My anxiety is fine and my depression is non existent in fact I haven't felt this good in years. I wasn't really worried about this but now I just really want to be able to read and I am just wondering why all of a sudden I can't. I was reading today for about an hour and a half until I gave up because I realized I had read less then 10 pages in that time slot even though I thought I was reading. Also when I was a kid I could read a Stephen King book in one sitting and now a Stephen King book takes a few weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not on any new meds or anything. I got off a ton of stuff and my mental health has greatly improved since. I started a new job in June but I only work twice a week and this problem started in January. I wasn't thinking too much of it but it's gotten really annoying.
