I'm not sure this is a side effect of depression or my disability. However I used to be an avid reader and I feel like I was better at it. I always did good in English classes so it must be my depression.
I am currently reading a book and even if it has interesting details, though I am reading it I feel like I can only read books when it's quiet anymore and even then, I think I can't focus on it as well as I should because it will be a struggle to remember what I just read. I think I've always had a poor short term memory but these should be things I put in my long term memory because it's not like it's a boring book. I have tried reading aloud and that sometimes helps but not all the time..still not as good as I want it and I don't want to have to read aloud all the time because my voice will get tired.

I do not know what is happening to me anymore but it is one thing that is making my depression worse. I seem to focus fairly well on reading message boards like these but yet not on books?

I actually feel like my focus is worse in general but books are especially difficult somehow.
