I don’t know why it happened but everything seems to go straight past me, I’m not able to maintain anything in my thoughts, I read something and have no idea what it said, everything from a two sentence email to a chapter in a book, I keep rereading it telling myself to focus on the words but my mind wanders off to wherever and idk, nothing. This also happens during conversations. It’s extremely frustrating. Maybe it’s adhd/add? I’ve never had that before though, I don’t think that’s something that just pops up as an adult.
I just think I would feel better if I could focus.

Hugs. I had to deal with the same thing when I was dealing with my bad dissoication. I gave up basically everything because of it. I stopped reading. I stopped studying. I couldn’t retain anything so I just gave up. I’m doing better now but not where I use to be. I use to have the lesson down pat half way through and would start helping other students, now I need to do things 2-4 times before it sinks in. At least I can go back to learning I guess, however my love for books is still working on its return (I hope)
Hello again.! <3 🙂
Also: Yep, I have that too the more I disconnect from my environment due to extreme mental challenges. I feel like there's a level of being unwell. If you ask the person: Sorry, what did you say, you at least still care about their words and try harder to understand them the next time. But if you're like: Oh well, whatever. Then that's a bad stage. The worst is, when you didn't even notice them talking to you..
