Sounds like you are reading something you dont enjoy at all or you need to go see doctor.

If you are required to read it, try skimming. Instead of trying to remember everything, aim to read the first and last sentence of each paragraph, and sentences with key words in then. Then, when you reach the end of each chapter, write a summary. Five to ten bullet points of key info. Engaging with the text in this way helps with returned and focus.

Also, take a break every hour or so to walk around and think about something else for ten minutes.

I am reading some things I don't enjoy at all, but this still happens even when it's stuff I actually want to read.
Already medicated though.

I'll give that a shot. Already skimming accidentally, might as well use the extra time to write some stuff down.

Try reading about side effect of what you are using and see if that causes your trouble. Then maybe see your doc and try something else.

I'll take your advice and bring it up, but this was one of the problems we were supposed to stop.

Addreall wont solve your adhd. Nothing will. Your only chance is to find some coping mechanism. Same with anxiety. Pharmacy companies dont want to cure you, but to sell you these pills for the rest of your life.

Stay safe!

Have that exact thing. Honestly does help me focus on something else I might be doing. Don't know why, but it works.
The anxiety I would argue with you though. I used to have panic attacks pretty regularly, to the point where I would storm throw a house bouncing against walls trying to stop, punched hole in walls, etc. You just stop thinking and try and escape.
Anti-anxiety meds definitely got that under control. I can even think about things that used to send me off the wall before, and kind of bring myself 'back' from having a problem. Never possible before.

Well i hope your psycholog has some long term plan how to get you used to being in your anxiety inducing situations without meds.

Are you following along the words with your finger?
