My ocd fucks up my reading ability, but I love reading. I'm bouncing between Hp Lovecraft and a book called "Of Human Bondage."

I think it's really nice if reading is fun for you. I think the last time I've read a book was more than 3 years ago...

I'm reading the book that I'm currently writing, coincidentally a book about OCD :pfff: Reading it over, and over, and over, to the point the text becomes sickeningly bland and I begin to doubt why the hell I even started.

But when I'm reading someone else's work, I almost exclusively read non-fiction. I'm currently reading the Oxford Handbook of Anesthesiology.

I've read everything by H.P. Lovecraft many years ago. Good choice. Now I'm too depressed to focus enough for reading books so I mostly stick to (European) comic books and manga.

@sadworld
Have you tried reading comic books instead? It's really fun.

Yeah, I've read manga but right now I'm too tired...

Do you have reading ocd? Why are you reading the anesthesiology book?

I read many of his stories before but its hard now. Reading feels like a chore because I can no longer breeze through the text.

I don't have reading OCD, but I do have ADHD which quite often makes the concentration required for reading, difficult.

I have a large library of medical textbooks, I've previously co-authored one myself. I'm just skimming over a chapter on the pharmacology of Midazolam in order to fact-check an article. I'm not an anesthesiologist myself, but there's a lot of shared knowledge between different professions.

Edit: Fixed the inaccurate phrasing, blame the ADHD.

Depression has taken away my ability to read books.
It's terrible as reading is such a great time filler
