I’m reading a discussion about reading
and to me the saddest thing about having ptsd was for many years I was too ill and mentally tired to read books. ( other than a few specialist psychiatry books ) So lacking in mental stamina I couldn’t even watch movies
so now when I watch movies I really appreciate it. I still don’t read as much as I used too. This is something that still gives me real grief 😔
abuse takes so much away from a person
These are the small steps to recovery and good on you. You may not read as much as you used too, but you’re also probably living a completely different life that you may not have the time to read as much.
But you read or listen to audiobooks and watch movies and that’s just as good.
time, I have nothing but time 😔
to me reading and watching is also learning , I think about what I have “consumed”
writers and artists put so much effort in the work, they want to entertain or educate ,
first read and watch is for entertainment, the second and further I think a bit more
Hugs. It can come back eventually. Now I am at the point where when I start to lose interest in music or I can’t concentrate to read that it’s a signal and I know I am gonna need to do something to stop the slide back.
Its an amazing feeling as those things start to come back. I am glad you have movies back.
