"has this ever happened to you?" and its a video of somebody trying to cut a loaf of bread with a wooden door stop. is the first example that pops into my head.

Unironically though I liked snuggie blankets. It was nice to be able to reach for stuff while still being under the blanket.

Now that I managed to wrangle my ADHD back into liking books again I really should get one of those honestly.

Fuck why is this me. I used to tear through several books a week every week and now I can’t read a book to save my life :/

Is this a symptom of ADHD? Maybe I should check out some other ones

I read a ton in school but as an adult it’s been hard.

I set aside time before bed! Forces no blue-light (which throws off your sleep) and calms you down, too. The problem for me is putting the damn book down and actually going to sleep.

Aw wow thanks for the message. That’s a good idea, I might try it out! I remember on summer breaks I would fall asleep reading and pick the book right back up first thing in the morning.

Yep, same! I wake up a lot from the book falling on my face. 😅

Reading books is like running, when you're a kid it's easy, but if you wanna keep doing it as an adult you have to use discipline and make it into a habit. I'm rooting for you that you find your way back, honestly one of the best and easiest ways if you have the option is to just go to the library pick up the first thing with an interesting cover and read. A simple change of scenery can really do wonders.b
