I’ve been trying to get organized enough for me to sit down and work on some notes. But, every time I try to read, everything is so jumbled up. I’m having a hard time texting this. Ugh! I have to go back, and re read, re read and I end up not understanding anything I just read
Wakey wakey,
Eggs and bakey,
Do you have any other distractions around you that you can cut out?
I’m sorry. I get that a lot on these meds. I’ve been reading and rereading the same book for over 3 years and I’m still only about halfway through it. I don’t even remember the last time I was able to watch a movie that I didn’t already know the story to. It really sucks.
I hope you’re able to find a way to focus a bit.
Reading’s tough since I came back from my initial psychotic break. I do okay with graphic novels, but walls of text are hard. I used to be really good at speedreading but my focus has never been quite the same as it was when I was healthy. I prefer audiobooks these days.
Mint tea hon
Or leftover candy canes
Every now and then I hit a wall with concentration. I try and get more rest when I can’t concentrate. In a more active pursuit I practice meditation on the daily as somewhat of a passive form of action.
I use my imagination to bring the words to life. Sometimes, I have to stop reading, close my eyes, and get a visual. It takes practice. It helps me. I use reading and studying as a distraction for MI.
I hope this helps. Good luck!
