I struggle with this too!
It’s so bad that I’m shocked I’ve been able to maintain my job which requires a lot of reading. What I do to work-around the problem is highlight any important information and then go back through and transfer the highlights to a cheat-sheet and then process the cheat-sheet. Unfortunately this wouldn’t make pleasure reading very pleasurable 🤷
I also struggle to retain any information in movies/meetings/etc etc.
These are things I’ve struggled with all my life but it’s gotten significantly worse since my bipolar symptoms worsened 2.5yr ago.
I just had cognitive testing done on Monday so I’m super curious to get the results back! It’ll a be a few wks till I get results though...
Looking forward to hearing more tips...
