I skim-read most of the time these days (picking out salient points); I just don't have the focus or attn for long tracts of text. This is v. frustrating since reading is one of the few activities even severely depressed people can theoretically still participate in.

Me too , about being a fast reader anyway. It almost feels like i'm too impatient and feel like I HAVE to hurry and skim over and over and over.
My family truly believes I'm a speed reader and are pretty impressed how fast I can go through a book. lol Unfortunately only about 10% really sticks They have no idea how frustrating it is.
Do you have any trouble with writing? I kind of do. Like I know what I want to say but can't make up my mind which words I want to use. Very weird.
