I used to be an avid reader, but years of high school and depression completely ruined that. I haven’t been able to complete a novel since senior year six years ago. It’s frustrating to me and I want to know how I can overcome my lack of focus and anxiety. I’ve heard I’m not alone when it comes to this sort of thing at least.
E: I wasn’t expecting so many replies. Thank you, all of you, for the ideas.
if you’re at least not opposed to the idea, an e-ink reader worked wonders for me. picked up a kindle on a whim despite not having read a book in so long. managed to get back into the habit due to that. my favorite device now, hands down.
also when i get stuck on a long book, i just take a break from it and switch to a shorter book.
