Sharp tongue Charlie
Do you ever have moments where the effects of your mental illness/disorder/whatever become really clear and sharp?

Just how bad my depression is was just thrown into sharp focus when I realised this year I have only read one book.

Bear in mind when I was younger I would devour one or two a week; sometimes I’d get books out from the library only to return them a few hours later.

And now it’s nearly March and I’ve only read one.

    All of this. I keep starting books and getting like a chapter in before putting them down and never touching them again....

  7. starsandstripesforever said: I read maybe, maybe, six books last year. I just now realized how much my depression have affected the little things in my life.
  8. nonhumanquotes said: Ouch. ;w; I don’t know exactly what that feels like but I have sympathy: I’m reading about 6 to 12 books a month right now and if I stopped feeling like I can do that, I know it must mean I’m not in a good place ;w;
  9. twelvefootmountaintroll said: Dude. :( We are not-reading buddies. I only read twenty books last year. That’s not even one every other week. /sigh
