I have these books I have got for free such as Paul Erdman’s The Panic of '89, but I just can not focus and concentrate to read anything. If I try to read, I am jumping from one sentence to another without any order at all.

I used to be a complete bookworm. My head was always in a book, but now I have the same issue as you.

I told my therapist the other day that it can take me 6 hours to get through a 2 hour movie. In the same boat. A rather leaky boat. Up you know which creek.
I can only read a little bit of my ancient military books once a week. It’s hard, sometimes I can focus on only very cetain things, and sometimes nothing. I heard sarcosine helps but haven’t tried it yet.

after 30 minutes, I lose focus and take a break.
I could read longer. but I’m most productive, reading with breaks
I made some tests because I was not sure if I had to trust my feeling that was telling me that I was unable to concentrate. I started to read and I had to stop every 3 phrases and re-read the last one, after 15 minutes I started to walk, after 10 minutes I realized what I was doing and I said to myself: what the hell, how and why did I stop reading???
