A very dear friend of mine, which unfortunately is a bit sheltered, couldn’t really understand how I can’t focus. “I also have to read a page several times to get the information to stick I don’t understand what you mean.”
And then I tried to explain that when I read a page my mind just thinks of other things and after several pages I realise that from like the 3rd sentence I have been thinking about other things. So I try to read them again and again and again. And It’s not like I’m actually reading I just go through the motions of turning the pages of my economy book while my brain is doing the equivalent of taking the ring to mordor.
This friend didn’t really understand how people could be depressed either “I mean. Just don’t be sad all the time. That’s what I do.”
@Tuss @Rhynoplaz I had a doctor tell me to just think happy thoughts.
Wait. Choosing your thoughts IS AN OPTION?!?
Later guys! Gotta use this and go turn my life around!
