i've experienced difficulty reading for the past few years, if not longer. i'm not sure whether it's because of my mental health (episodes have become stronger in the past few years) or because of meds (am on five at the moment). i used to read a lot as a child and teenager, but now i rarely read, and trying to concentrate is horrible. the suggestion of reading a paragraph and writing down the gist isn't really realistic sometimes - my eyes skip through each sentence so i have to read a couple of sentences again and again just to comprehend them. i'm also studying, and a lot of the time it feels like there's no point...
