I can’t sit still for hours either, I need to take breaks and do things.

yeah it just sucks cause i used to be able to gjhdsjksdkj

I used to be able to too. A couple years ago I read 85 books in four months. Now 85 books in a year is hard for me to accomplish. I feel you

omg same so happy there's other people like this :)))))

I've not really been able to read books point blank at the moment 😭

Same! I heard that a side effect of depression is being easily distracted, which is probably it for me.

i've kind of lost my stamina period. for anything-my attention span has become really short for some reason and i need it back.

sammme hghghgh

Don't worry! It happens to me too, depending on the book and my mood and also on my real life stress and load of work 😅😅

You'll find an awesome book which you'll read with a relaxed mood and a little peace in real life and before you know it, you would've spent hrs reading it :)

I think it's related to my loss of motivation tbh

i'm guessing you just haven't found the right book? or perhaps it's your surroundings? sometimes, to get engrossed and absorbed into a book, you need a really quiet place.

Can you listen to an audiobook? Or read a comic? Or how about fan fiction, that can be quite short if it’s a one shot! Or just read in short bursts then do something else? Hope this helps, good luck!

yes ! these are really good ideas, thank you !!!

This happened to me a few years ago. I'd like to echo what Jess said about what else is going on in our lives too... don't be too down on yourself about it. I love the idea of audiobooks as well... x

Same. I used to lock myself up in my room and read all day. The only time I would leave is to use the bathroom... forget about eating because I was too focused on reading to feel hungry. Now I am wondering how I could possibly have read that much, or if I actually made that version of myself up. No one knows, lol.
