I go through periods where i read a fair bit (with a lot of breaks), and then other periods where i simply cannot find the motivation of focus at all to read anything. i haven't been able to read at all in months, i think. so I'm hopeful that meds will help me to stop "hyperfocussing" on reading, and doing reading like a normal person.
I find that ED is the worst part about reading. once i start reading, i can do it. I just struggle, with many things, to start. once i start something, i can sometimes manage to finish, but it's the starting that stops me. I do also have ASD, so it might be that?
but yeah, thanks for the advice :)
