I felt that way after the manic/psychotic episode I had in December and then I unfortunatley slid into depression right after that. I had a manic episode without psychosis in early July this year, and it's been about 6 weeks for me now stable. Lately my brain has been like mush; I find myself binge watching TV a lot. But I'm able to read too, especially if I put my focus on it, and maybe once I finish binge watching all the episodes of this show I'll be over it, God, I hope so! Sorry, I'm not sure this really helps, but give yourself time to adjust to normal. You'll get back there. ((((HUGS))))

Yeah, I enjoy that floaty feeling from painkillers WAY too much. I have never abused painkillers, but I def. see why many people do.
