Reply to comment by bofh000 in I want to read so badly but my brain won’t allow it by heroicgamer44

Reading might not directly be the source but it’s certainly triggered my issues

Thank you though and I will work with my therapist

Could you provide some details on how that happened? I’m hope my question doesn’t sound confrontational to you, I am genuinely interested, as for me reading has always been the balm and support my mental state needed.

I only wish reading could be my balm but it's the complete opposite for me. I started reading very actively around 2019 (I was 19) and it wasn't a smooth process but I assumed it would cease to be an issue the more I read.

Then 2020 I had same issues but still assumed it wasn't major. similar issues here with my mind and the words just not flowing smoothly

2021 was when my tics started when I read and I started to become more active with mending this issue and stopped assuming it would no longer be an issue

I have adhd, ocd and anxiety and I presume these contribute to the problem
